- Exit polling showed a heavily female audience (about 76%), a B grade from CinemaScore, and mixed critical notices around 63% on Rotten Tomatoes with warmer audience scores.
- Domestic results trailed the highest pre‑release forecasts that ran as high as $50 million, though they aligned with Warner Bros.’ holiday projection of about $40 million.
