The Kernel take
A Metascore of 72 suggests The Sheep Detectives is playing well with critics despite a modest $75M budget; the $130.575M worldwide gross so far indicates solid returns, though not quite the typical blockbuster multiplier one might expect for a generally well-received film.
Director track record: Kyle Balda
The Sheep Detectives (72) sits well above Kyle Balda's own 53.7-point average across his other 3 scored films — his new best-reviewed work to date, surpassing his previous high of Minions: The Rise of Gru (56).
Lead track record: Hugh Jackman
The Sheep Detectives (72) sits well above Hugh Jackman's own 51.1-point average across his other 23 scored films, though it trails his best-reviewed performance in Happy Feet (77).
