Blake is lively after all.
Blake Lively’s “It Ends with Us” made a whopping $7 million last night in previews.
Reviews are middling but there’s strong interest from fans of Colleen Hoover’s best selling book.
Extra promotional help from Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, and his buddy, Hugh Jackman, didn’t hurt.
There are still many questions, though, about director and co-star Justin Baldoni. He’s been snubbed by the cast, who don’t talk about him or take pictures with him. He wasn’t even at the London premiere. At the NY premiere he was largely ignored. What’s going on? Very strange.
We’ll see over the weekend if interest holds up in “It Ends with Us.” Aside from “Deadpool and Wolverine” there isn’t much out there, so this domestic drama about abuse may over perform.
Sony needs a hit. “Fly Me to the Moon” never launched. “Harold and the Purple Crayon” is DOA. Their only hit this year is “Bad Boys Ride or Die, ” which is nothing to brag about really.
