According to information released by Embargo Lifts For…, the first reactions on social media will appear on April 10 at 3 p.m. (Brasília time). The full reviews, in turn, will be published on April 21 at 10 a.m. Both dates follow the embargo set for the U.S. audience: April 10, 11 a.m. PT/2 p.m. ET for social media comments and April 21, 6 a.m. PT/9 a.m. ET for detailed critiques.
The film premieres in U.S. theaters on April 24, with the Brazilian release slated for April 23. Lionsgate already has enough material for a sequel, but the continuation will depend on the box‑office performance of the first part. If the film achieves audience success, the studio plans to move forward with sequel plans.
