Initially viewed as a strong contender for awards season, Nightbitch faced challenges in gaining traction after its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Despite receiving mixed reviews, the film could only manage a box office revenue of approximately $170,737 in the United Kingdom. Nonetheless, its successful streaming debut on Hulu provides a welcome consolation, allowing audiences to enjoy Amy Adams brilliantly navigating the nuances of motherhood and suburban life, even amidst a plot that leans towards the conventional.
