The film was a box office bomb, only grossing USD 55 million against its USD 60 million budget. It also received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics, with some considering it one of the worst films ever made. It was originally scheduled to open earlier in June 1998 but was pushed back until August, referred to as the ‘dumping ground’ for films that often fail to open on the more lucrative summer weekends. The movie was released on June 28, 1998, and was released by Warner Bros., the film’s distributor, refused to allow any early press-screenings for movie reviewers that most releases attempt to generate interest in; such a decision is often made when a studio andor distributor knows a film will not be received well and pre-release reviews would only be good for a few days.
