I can't find it on Box Office Mojo (which I use for my box office) or even The Numbers.com but this site has a OW gross listed and a total!
I didn't even think this was released to US theaters.
Not sure if anyone is still looking for this info, but Wikipedia lists the below information

However, even though it didn't quite break-even at the box office, I've no doubt this film went on to rake it in with the killing it made when released on dvd.............in fact, didn't I read somewhere that it once held the all-time record for dvd sales for a feature film..............oh wait, NO, that was some other equally great film, like "Paul Blart: Mall Cop", or something........

"However, even though it didn't quite break-even at the box office,"
The theaters would have kept nearly half of that 233,150, so the producers got back around 120k for their 242k investment. No telling how much it has raked in from the ancillary markets...
But the director bragged in his review posted here that it made a handsome profit.
