Originally, a separate IMDb page was created for the movie and used for foreign promotion. Internet journalists suspected that it might have been because the dismal user rating of the original page (1.6/10 at the time) would have made it harder for the creators to sell the film. When this news got out, the false English movie page was deleted from the site.
The Hungarian government provided 20% of the film's 1.4 billion Forint (about $5 million) budget.
Director György Gát estimated that at least 200,000 people would see the film. Fewer than 60,000 tickets were sold during its theatrical run.
