Sony's latest installment in the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" franchise, a legacy sequel featuring Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt, received mixed reviews upon its release. Critics described the film as a capable but unoriginal continuation, with some noting its plot closely mirrors the original, limiting its freshness. While some reviews appreciated the nostalgic elements and certain charms, others criticized it for failing to add meaningful innovation to the franchise. At the box office, the film debuted domestically with $12.76 million from 3,206 locations, underperforming relative to competitors such as "Superman," which earned $58.4 million over the weekend with a total of $236 million, and "Jurassic World Rebirth," which is approaching $650 million globally. Other releases during the same weekend included Paramount's "Smurfs," which opened with $11.08 million, Universal/DreamWorks Animation's "How to Train Your Dragon," grossing $5.40 million for the weekend with a total domestic gross of $250.78 million, and Sony's "28 Years Later," which made $1.33 million, reaching a total of $68.73 million domestically. The mixed critical reception and stiff box office competition have impacted the performance of Sony's "I Know What You Did Last Summer" sequel.
