Overview
- Freakier Friday collected $12.7 million in North America on its opening day, roughly double the original’s debut haul.
- It currently holds a 73% critics score and a 93–94% audience approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
- Jamie Lee Curtis used Instagram to push back at a scathing Time magazine review, calling its critique “a tad harsh.”
- Reuniting Curtis and Lohan under Nisha Ganatra’s direction, the film broadens the original’s body-swap concept to include two generations and returning cast member Chad Michael Murray.
- The production revived Curtis’s vintage Diane von Furstenberg dress and peppered the film with Easter eggs to tap into 2000s nostalgia.
