Despite its grand vision and exotic locations, Sheena struggled at the box office, grossing only $5.7 million. While the film aimed to deliver a mix of action, adventure, and fantasy, it didn’t resonate with audiences or critics, leading to its commercial failure.
Tanya Roberts, who played the iconic jungle heroine, brought a strong presence to the role, but even her performance couldn’t save the film from its underwhelming reception. Over the years, however, Sheena has gained a cult following for its campy appeal and remains a nostalgic piece of 80s cinema.
