The film was produced by Sony Pictures Animation and premiered at the Regency Village Theater on July 23, 2017, and was released in the United States on July 28, 2017, by Columbia Pictures. It grossed $217 million worldwide and received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics, with many calling it, "dull and unfunny".
