The film:
- Box Office Bomb: Budget: $44-49 million. Box office: $9.7 million. As of this writing, the film has the sixth-lowest opening weekend gross for a wide release film in history.
- Fake Russian: Neither actor playing Boris are Russians in real life, as Finn Wolfhard is Canadian and Aneurin Barnard is Welsh.
- Playing Against Type: Luke Wilson usually plays nice guys, but here he plays Theo's emotionally abusive and estranged father.
- Star-Derailing Role: For Ansel Elgort. The film's critical and financial failure severely hurt his career trajectory. He was involved in only two projects since; a new adaptation of West Side Story by Steven Spielberg and the series Tokyo Vice on HBO Max, both of which were delayed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
