Overview
- The film opened to $13.6 million globally, including $7.3 million in the U.S. and Canada and about $6.3 million from international markets.
- Unnamed industry sources cited by Deadline project losses of up to roughly $90 million when combining production near $80 million with about $65 million in global marketing, a figure not confirmed by Warner Bros.
- Maggie Gyllenhaal publicly defended the film’s explicit depiction of sexual violence as a deliberate, realistic choice and said she takes full responsibility for that portrayal.
- Gyllenhaal disclosed that Warner Bros. asked for certain violent scenes to be removed after test screenings, and she described the theatrical release as softened compared with her original cut.
- Feedback pointed to marketing challenges from the film’s hybrid tone, while early reception metrics were weak with a C+ CinemaScore and a 59% Rotten Tomatoes score, and the release ended Warner Bros.’ run of nine straight No. 1 openings.
