The film opened in New York and Los Angeles on May 24, 2006. It is the third-highest-grossing documentary in the United States to date.^[10] Both Gore and Paramount Classics, the film's distributor, have pledged proceeds from the film to further educational campaigns about climate change.^[11] The film is due to be released on DVD by Paramount Home Entertainment on November 21, 2006.

An Inconvenient Truth is also the title of a companion book by Gore, which reached #1 on the New York Times bestseller lists of July 2^[1] and August 13, 2006, and again during several months on the list.^[2]
