The film garnered good reviews, but failed at the US box office when it hit theaters last November. Interviewed by GQ, James Gray (Ad Astra) declared on the meager receipts compared to the production budget: “Commercially the film was a failure”, reflecting on the fact that it was a result to be contextualized with current times: “We’re in a situation where literally every one of these movies that aren’t in as many franchises isn’t doing well, and in a way, that’s the great equalizer.”
