More about the movie
The family movie was made on a $75 million budget and has recovered that budget during its theatrical run. But achieving the break-even target of $187.5 million is unlikely for it. However, the film’s arrangement is only that way, as the theatrical release is meant to create awareness about the movie when it hits the streaming platform, Amazon Prime Video.
The film follows a flock of sheep whose quiet lives are turned upside down after their shepherd is found dead. Every night, the shepherd would read murder mysteries aloud, jokingly pretending that his sheep could understand every word. When his death appears far from accidental, the sheep become convinced it was murder and set out to solve the case themselves, armed only with the detective knowledge they have absorbed from years of bedtime mysteries. The Sheep Detectives was released on May 8.
