The film was released in the United States on January 10, 2020, by 20th Century Fox; it was the last film under the Fox name before the studio's rebranding as 20th Century Studios on January 17.[6] It received mixed reviews from critics and was a box office bomb, grossing $40 million worldwide against a production budget of $50–65 million.[1][7][8]
