GK Films financed and produced this film, and Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions released this film in most countries through Columbia Pictures. The $100 million-budgeted The Tourist only grossed $68 million in North America theatrically, but this film performed much better in other countries and went on to gross $278 million worldwide.
Despite the negative reception from the critics, the film was nominated for three Golden Globes, with a debate arising over the question as to whether it was a comedy or a drama. Henckel von Donnersmarck repeatedly stated it was neither genre, calling it "a travel romance with thriller elements", but that if he had to choose between the two, he would choose comedy.
