It seemed like the romantic comedy genre was going to make a comeback when George Clooney and Julia Roberts’ Ticket to Paradise hit a box office milestone for the two stars together and individually. But then last year’s rom-com Love Again starring Priyanka Chopra was a box office flop debuting at $2.4 million with expectations to be $5 million. Clearly the rom-com genre is not dead as Glen Powell announced his new movie Anyone But You has been quickly racking up more than $100 million.
It may seem like high-budget superhero and sci-fi films are all people want to see. But, there is an audience out there who would like to see the comedic shenanigans a couple goes through that leads to the sparks flying. That seems to be the case with Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney’s Anyone But You. Powell posted on Instagram how proud he was of his 2023 movie release making more than $100 million at the box office through the fans and what a rare feat it is for a movie’s numbers to grow weekly like this. Take a look at this congratulatory post below:
