The film was put in wide release on July 2. It finished #11 in the weekend box office for July 4 through 6 grossing $2,743,753 for a total gross of $5,352,705 after its opening weekend in wide release. The film did not perform as well as D'Souza's earlier film 2016: Obama's America, but by its second weekend of wide release it had become the seventh highest grossing political documentary of all time. Its box office receipts declined slightly by 12.8% in its second wide release weekend from its opening weekend, while the number of screens the movie was shown on was unchanged at 1,105. It dropped one place to #12 in the box office and increased its total gross to $8,211,791.

Reception

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 11% approval rating, based on the reviews of 18 critics. On Metacritic, the film has a score of 14 out of 100, based on 11 critics, indicating "overwhelming dislike". CinemaScore polls conducted during the opening weekend revealed the average grade cinemagoers gave the film was A+ on an A+ to F scale. Writing for RogerEbert.com, Peter Sobczynski wrote that the movie is "the cinematic equivalent of one of those forwarded e-mails of mostly discredited "facts" that you receive from an uncle".

After receiving a poor review from Reuters entitled To celebrate the Fourth of July, don’t go see this movie, where the author wrote "I wouldn’t ordinarily dignify such nonsense with a column, but America the movie exemplifies everything that’s wrong about the American political conversation these days, rich with examples from both left and right." Gerald R. Molen responded stating, "I'm used to having my movies critiqued, but to have a reporter actually tell people not to attend a movie is a first. This is the movie world's version of voter suppression efforts in politics. Shameful. But most Americans don't like to be told what to do by elite journalists and I have faith that it will only motivate Americans to go to their local theater."
