During the slump in the Hong Kong film industry of the late 1990s, Needing You... raked in HKD 6.5 million during its 1st 3 days of opening in Hong Kong, and amassed a total of HKD 35 million in Hong Kong alone, rivaling John Woo's American film Mission: Impossible II which screened during the same period in Hong Kong and triumphing all other Hong Kong films screened for the past few years.
