The film’s domestic collection currently stands at $87 million, and the film was made on a reported budget of $25 million. It has already earned over 500% higher than its production cost.
According to Variety’s report, Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell’s movie has achieved a new milestone by making $200 million at the worldwide box office.
