In a recent turn of events, Sony’s romantic comedy, “Anyone But You,” directed by Will Gluck and featuring the dynamic duo of Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, is making waves both domestically and internationally.
After a successful 10-day run in the United States, the film has expanded its reach to 14 international markets, garnering positive responses grossing just under $6 million from overseas territories.
The movie’s cumulative global haul has now reached around $33 million with the achievement coming against the backdrop of a reported budget of $25 million, reinforcing “Anyone But You” as a commercially successful venture.
Looking ahead, “Anyone But You” has promising prospects in key upcoming markets. Germany and Mexico are slated for a release on Jan 18, followed by Spain on Jan 19, and France on Jan 24. The film is set to captivate audiences in Brazil and Italy on Jan 25. These international releases are expected to further boost the film’s global earnings.
Despite a competitive landscape at the domestic box office, “Anyone But You” is projected to maintain its strong performance, finishing just outside the top five in its second weekend. The current leader is the holdover hit, “Wonka,” but “Anyone But You” has managed to carve out its niche, propelled by solid buzz surrounding its talented cast and intriguing trailers.
The movie’s stars, Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, have been instrumental in creating anticipation. Sweeney, known for her breakout role in HBO’s “Euphoria,” is set to captivate audiences in Sony’s upcoming “Madame Web.” while Powell, with his rom-com experience from Netflix’s “Set It Up,” has continued to impress.
Along with commercial success, Anyone But You had now solidified its position as a delightful addition to the romantic comedy genre, showcasing the talents of its lead actors and the creative vision of director Will Gluck. With exciting international releases on the horizon, the film’s success story is far from over.
