Anyone But You became a bit of a surprise hit at the end of 2023. The romantic comedy definitely got a boost from the rumors that its stars, Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, were involved in a real-life romance. However, new reports are coming out that those rumors were not only just that, but Sweeney and Powell played them up to help promote the movie. It worked at the box office and continues to do so now that Anyone But You is on Netflix, as the movie almost instantly shot to the top of the queue for US subscribers.
Premiering on Netflix on April 23, Anyone But You immediately became the most-watched movie of the day in the US on April 24. It jumped ahead of Netflix original movie Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver and other recent popular titles like Anna, What Jennifer Did and Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp.
