At its widest release, 10,000 BC was screened in 3,454 theaters.

Supervising producer Murray Francis is credited as Murray "Muzza" Francis in this film.

Composer Thomas Wanker is credited as Thomas Wander in this film. Probably because "wanker" is an English slang term for an unfavorable male. It's the U.K. equivalent to "douche bag".

Ueli Steiger was also the director of photography on the American version of Godzilla, which was also directed by Roland Emmerich and released ten years earlier in 1998.

The movie includes an alternate ending featuring Baku some time in the future, retelling the events of the film to a group of children. This is similar to the ending of the 1975 film Battle for the Planet of the Apes wherein the Lawkeeper educates ape and human students about their shared heritage.
