Green Snake earned a total of 200 million yuan ($30.86 million) in its first three days of release.[7]
Roger Moore gave the movie 1.5 out of 4 stars, saying, "Green Snake is like the cover of a Robert W. Howard Conan book rendered in CGI anime animation — violent and lurid, with lots of action and a little skin. The story? Well, let’s just say it’s more impressive to look at than to try and follow and absorb."[8]
