Compared with the second Pirates of the Caribbean film, starring Johnny Depp, which, as the top foreign film in Taipei for 2006 sold 670,000 tickets, the numbers for Taiwan films may not be so impressive. Compared with the miserable statistics from 2001, however, the growth in audiences seen in recent years has been a shot in the arm to people in the Taiwan film industry.
比起同一年北市票房冠軍外片、由好萊塢性格男星強尼戴普主演的《神鬼奇航 2：加勒比海盜》高達 67 萬人次的票房仍顯寒愴，不過相較於 2001 年趨近於零的慘狀，其成長力道著實為戮力於台灣電影工業的人打了一劑強心針。
