The film also stars Ken Watanabe as Sayuri's love interest, Gong Li as her rival, and Michelle Yeoh as her mentor.[1] It had a limited theatrical release in the United States from December 9, 2005, before it went on a wide release on December 23, 2005.[2] Memoirs of a Geisha grossed a worldwide box office total of over $162 million, against an estimated budget of $85 million.[3]
