It's safe to say that It Ends With Us has taken the box office by storm. Despite being surrounded by stories of behind-the-scenes drama and tension among the cast, the highly anticipated film has been going like gangbusters at the box office. Adapted from the best-selling novel by Colleen Hoover, this emotional romance has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons lately.
At first, fans were shocked when the trailer portrayed the film as a typical love story between Lily Bloom and neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid, when in reality, the plot delves into the dark and complex topic of domestic violence and abuse. This misleading marketing caused quite a stir among viewers. And as if that wasn't enough, rumors began to circulate about animosity between the director, Justin Baldoni, and his cast. Observant fans noticed a sense of tension on the red carpet, leading to speculation about possible conflicts on set.
Despite these controversies, It Ends With Us continues to perform well financially, grossing over $100 million at the global box office during its first week of release. In fact, it even surpassed Ryan Reynolds' previous box office hit, Deadpool & Wolverine, taking the top spot for the week. This unexpected success has surprised many, including industry insiders who are now predicting even higher figures for the film's second week.
Some have questioned whether the involvement of Reynolds, who happens to be Blake Lively's husband, may have contributed to any bad blood behind the scenes. Although there is no concrete evidence of a feud between the two, their relationship has sparked rumors about possible interference from Reynolds in the making of the film. Some have even suggested that he may have written a crucial scene without the knowledge of Baldoni and the screenwriter.
Adding fuel to the fire, The Hollywood Reporter claimed that Lively had commissioned her own cut of the film from an editor who worked on Reynolds' previous films. This has only added to the speculation and raised questions about the true dynamic on set. However, Baldoni has remained silent about these rumors and has even praised Lively's contributions to the film, going as far as suggesting she should direct the sequel.
Despite all the rumors and speculation, there is no concrete evidence of any animosity between Baldoni and Lively. The director has hired a PR crisis manager, Melissa Nathan, who has previously represented Johnny Depp during his highly publicized trial with Amber Heard. This has only added to the intrigue surrounding the film and its production.
