According to McConaughey, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days remains a true gift, bringing in money especially in March, just before Valentine's Day. The actor said:
“How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is the gift that keeps on giving. I think it's probably my favorite rom-com I've done. And a lot of people love that rom-com. It still pays the best ‘mailbox money’ of any film I've ever done. By far.
When [home video] used to be just DVDs or cable [instead of streaming or VOD], every March I'd get a big check because of Valentine's Day.”
