Writing for ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'', Josh Spieger called the film a "welcome return to the big screen for Bullock" and observed: "She has reached a point in her career where she chooses her roles with care; before ''Gravity'', she'd only co-starred in a handful of films over the previous five years, including her Oscar-winning turn in ''The Blind Side''. ''Ocean's 8'' is Bullock's first true franchise film in decades [...] and it suggests that her decision to be more selective in which projects she picks can pay off in dividends".<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/oceans-8-does-sandra-bullock-live-up-franchise-1118527/ | title=How Sandra Bullock Leads Her 'Ocean's 8' Ensemble | website=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] | date=June 8, 2018 }}</ref> ''Ocean's 8'' had the best debut for the franchise,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://deadline.com/2018/06/oceans-8-sandra-bullock-box-office-hereditary-hotel-artemis-1202406200/ | title='Ocean's 8' Steals Franchise Record with $41.5M Opening – Final Sunday Update | date=June 10, 2018 }}</ref> and ultimately made $297&nbsp;million globally.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ocean's 8 (2018)|url=https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=wbeventfilm2018c.htm|website=Box Office Mojo}}</ref>
