“Anyone But You,” a $25 million R-rated romantic comedy starring Glenn Powell and Sydney Sweeney, has grossed over $100 million at the box office. This is a fantastic success. The picture received mixed reviews, but that didn’t matter to the crowd. Many people predicted that this picture would fail miserably at the box office, yet it had some significant legs.
Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell’s romance comedy Anyone But You has reached a significant domestic box office milestone. The film, based on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, follows the development of a romance between two discordant people who pretend to be in love during an Australian wedding.
Along with Sweeney and Powell, the cast of Anyone But You includes Alexandra Shipp, Hadley Robinson, Darren Barnet, Michelle Hurd, GaTa, Rachel Griffiths, and Dermot Mulroney. Despite mixed reviews, the romcom has maintained a solid hold at the box office and received appreciation from audiences.
Romcoms have seen a theatrical rebirth in recent years, with widespread distribution and great box office achievements. Kate Hudson recently acknowledged the difficulties of filming romcoms, and her current picture, Anyone But You. It’s unknown if Hollywood will recognize the financial success or whether big-name performers will join the genre. It will be fascinating to watch if additional romcoms in this manner are developed.
