Ocean's 8 (stylized onscreen as Ocean's Eight) is a 2018 American heist comedy film directed by Gary Ross and written by Ross and Olivia Milch. The film is a spin-off from Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's trilogy and features an ensemble cast, including Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna, and Helena Bonham Carter. The plot follows a group of women, led by Debbie Ocean, the estranged sister of Danny Ocean, who plan on robbing the Met Gala.

Principal photography on the film began in October 2016 in New York City, and it premiered at Alice Tully Hall on June 5, 2018. It was released by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States on June 8, 2018, 11 years to the date of the release of Ocean's Thirteen. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with praise given to the performances of the cast, particularly Bullock and Hathaway, though the routine storyline received some criticism.[3]

Plot

Debbie Ocean, younger sister of the late Danny Ocean, spends five years and eight months in prison planning a heist. Convincing her partner-in-crime and friend Lou to take part in her heist, Debbie proceeds to recruit jewelry maker Amita, profiteer Tammy, street hustler Constance, computer cracker Leslie, and fashion designer Rose Weil. In a flashback, it is revealed that Debbie’s ex-lover, Claude Becker, had involved her in a fraud scheme and then testified against her, sending her to prison. Debbie chooses Becker to be the scapegoat for the plot to steal the Toussaint, a $150 million necklace at New York City's star-studded annual Met Gala.

Using celebrity actress Daphne Kluger as an unwitting mule, the crew successfully substitutes a fake necklace prepared by Tammy for the real necklace, and sells the diamonds in small portions through various intermediaries. It is revealed that Daphne had caught on to the plot and becoming a willing accomplice out of a need for female friendship. She successfully plants evidence in Becker's residence to set him up as a suspect in insurance investigator John Frazier's fraud probe. Free from suspicion, Debbie and Lou disclose to the crew that they had stolen more items than just the necklace during the commotion at the Met museum. The remaining proceeds are used to increase everyone's share of the take, leading to a montage of each crew member living their best life. Debbie visits her brother's grave and drinks an olive martini, claiming he would have loved the heist.

Cast

Additionally Dakota Fanning cameos as Penelope Stern, a celebrity who Kluger is jealous of. Elliott Gould and Shaobo Qin reprise their roles from the previous films. Matt Damon was also set to reprise his role as Linus Caldwell, but his scene was cut.[4] Other celebrity cameo appearances as themselves in the film include Anna Wintour, Zayn Malik, Katie Holmes, Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams, Kim Kardashian, Adriana Lima, Kylie Jenner, Alexander Wang, Nina Cuo, Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Lily Aldridge, Olivia Munn, Zac Posen, Hailey Baldwin, Derek Blasberg and Lauren Santo Domingo.[5][6]

Production

After the release of Ocean's Thirteen, Steven Soderbergh stated that there would not be an Ocean's Fourteen, noting that George Clooney wanted "to go out strong" with the third film.[7] Soderbergh again said that a fourth film in the franchise was unlikely in December 2008, this time citing the recent death of Bernie Mac, who had appeared in the earlier films.[8] Despite this, a female focused spin-off was in development as of October 2015.[9][10] Helena Bonham Carter, Cate Blanchett, Mindy Kaling and Elizabeth Banks were later announced to star in the film,[11] though Banks' presence later turned out to be a rumor that did not materialize.[12]

In August 2016, Bullock, Blanchett, Bonham Carter and Kaling were confirmed to star, with Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Awkwafina and Sarah Paulson closing deals to fill the cast.[13][14] During production on the film, Dakota Fanning and Damian Lewis were spotted on set, with Lewis's casting being confirmed in December 2016 and Fanning confirming her casting in March 2017. However, Lewis does not appear in the finished film.[15][16][17]

On November 11, 2016, Richard Robichaux was also cast in the film.[18] That same month, Matt Damon confirmed he would appear in the film, reprising his role from the Ocean's Trilogy.[19][20][21] In January 2017, James Corden joined the cast as an insurance broker who begins to grow suspicious of the group.[22] That same month, it was revealed Anna Wintour, Alexander Wang, Zac Posen, Derek Blasberg, Lauren Santo Domingo, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Katie Holmes, Olivia Munn, Hailey Baldwin and Zayn Malik were announced to cameo in the film.[23][24][25][26][27] That same month, Richard Armitage joined the cast of the film.[28]

Filming

Principal photography on the film began on October 25, 2016, in New York City.[29][30] In March 2017, Blanchett said production had officially been completed.[31]

On May 5, 2017, it was announced that filming was to continue on Staten Island at the former Arthur Kill Correctional Facility, which Broadway Stages is still in the process of acquiring after an initial rejection.[32]

A scene early in the film shows the Bergdorf Goodman store; coincidentally, Bergdorf is the last name of Richard Conte's character in the original Ocean's 11 (1960) film.

Release

Warner Bros. is scheduled to release the film on June 8, 2018.[33][34] It premiered at Alice Tully Hall in New York City on June 5, 2018.[35]

Reception

Box office

In the United States and Canada, Ocean's 8 was released alongside Hotel Artemis and Hereditary, and is projected to gross around $45 million from 4,145 theaters in its opening weekend, although some tracking firms have it debuting with as low as $30 million. Deadline Hollywood noted that it was tracking on-par with the 2016 all-female Ghostbusters reboot (which opened to $46 million), and had more interest from audiences than the likes of fellow female-led comedies The Heat ($39.1 million debut), Spy ($29.1 million) and Girls Trip ($31.2 million).[36] The film made $4 million from Thursday night previews, including $100,000 made from additional early screenings Wednesday night. It grossed $15.9 million on its first day (including previews), the highest total of the franchise before inflation.[37]

Critical response

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 69% based on 150 reviews, and an average rating of 6.3/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Ocean's 8 isn't quite as smooth as its predecessors, but still has enough cast chemistry and flair to enjoyably lift the price of a ticket from filmgoers up for an undemanding caper."[38] On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating to reviews, to film has a weighted average score 61 out of 100, based on 46 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[39] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale, the same score earned by Ocean's Eleven and Thirteen.[37]

Writing for Rolling Stone, Peter Travers gave the film 3 out of 4 stars and praised the cast, saying, "Ocean's 8 is a heist caper that looks gorgeous, keeps the twists coming and bounces along on a comic rhythm that's impossible to resist. What more do you want in summer escapism?"[40] Alonso Duralde of TheWrap called the film was "slick, charming and funny, but the never quite kicks into high gear" and said, "Cinematographer Eigil Bryld gives the proceedings the high-gloss of a SkyMall catalog, which is appropriate for a movie about robbing a legendary Cartier necklace at fashion's most exclusive event...And between the sheen and the talented performers, Ocean's 8 does eventually coast on froth and good will."[41]

Variety's Owen Gleiberman said it is "clever enough to get by" and wrote "Ocean's 8 is a casually winning heist movie, no more and no less, but like countless films devoted to the exploits of cool male criminals, it lingers most...as a proudly scurrilous gallery of role models."[42] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film 2 out of 4 stars and said, "Some movies are more about parallel play than actual playground interaction, and despite a screenful of terrifically skillful talents, Ocean's 8 never quite gets its ensemble act together. It's smooth, and far from inept. But it isn't much fun. That's all you want from a certain kind of heist picture, isn't it? Fun?"[43]
