The movie was theatrically released on July 19, 2013, in mainland China, nationwide. YNET.com points that more theaters had to play the film just to accommodate the audience, and considered Day of Redemption the first high concept movie of mainland China, connecting the U.S. education received by the film's producer, writer, and director to its success.[1] Netease Entertainment also deemed the movie "high concept",[2] and Ye Qianyun[3] and Tong Yao's performances were praised.[4] China's CCTV, that broadcasts to about 1 billion people, rated Day of Redemption "intense", and "delighting"[5]

Day of Redemption's online release on Tencent Video, a major Chinese video portal,[6] has received more than 14 million views.[7]
