Director Ang Lee has not had much box office success in his LRF career. He's now directed three films for the studio, and this is his second box office bomb. Only his first film, The Secret History, managed a small $3 million profit. Overall, Lee's films have now lost just over $70 million at the box office.

The King of Hearts
The King of Hearts is now officially the second highest grossing drama ever released by LRF, and the highest grossing not to feature a sub-genre. It is only eclipsed by last season's smash hit Oklahoma! which features the Musical and Western sub-genres.
