Initially scheduled for a November 17, 2023 release, the film’s premiere was pushed back due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike and finally arrived on Netflix on June 28, 2024. Despite a mixed critical reception — 35% on Rotten Tomatoes from 102 critics and a Metacritic score of 43/100 — the film was a strong audience draw, debuting as the #1 movie on Netflix’s global chart with 26.8 million views in its opening weekend, largely on the strength of Kidman and Efron’s chemistry.
