Reception

Critical reception

Tony Goes from Folha de S.Paulo said “The surprise in “Minha Mãe É uma Peça 3” is precisely the plot, much more consistent than in previous projects.“[3]

Nocolaos Garófalo from Omelete said “Although it is point to show Herminia's almost total independence from men, with the character inspired by Gustavo's mother traveling abroad, going to parties and having fun with her sister and friends, the plot undermines any reference to her independence in worn jokes about Herminia's age and how much she and Carlos Alberto have become “useless” and “crumbled” over time.” [6]

Box office

The film reached 1 million admissions in its opening weekend and 1.8 million admissions in the first week.[7] After the second week, it surpassed 5 million admissions, 8 million admissions in the third week and 10 million admissions in the fourth week.[8][9][10]

As of May 2020, with 11.5 million admissions, it is the second most watched and the highest-grossing film in the history of Brazilian cinema grossing R$181.7 million.[4][1]
