Released on April 25, 2025, by Universal Pictures, the film received positive reviews from critics, particularly to the cast and humor, and it was a box-office success, grossing over $795 million on a $137 million budget, making it the sixth highest-grossing film of 2025 and the highest-grossing film in the series.
