As a cinephile who has been following the Hollywood scene for decades, I must say that the playful banter between Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds is reminiscent of the classic rivalries we often see among film stars. The fact that they are married and their films are competing at the box office just adds an extra layer of intrigue.
In a playful jab during promotion for her latest movie “It Ends with Us“, Blake Lively, wife of Ryan Reynolds, casually criticized his Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster “Deadpool & Wolverine” (approximately $900-million gross), saying “I wouldn’t recommend going to see it.”
It seems there’s a friendly rivalry brewing between Reynolds and his wife as their films are battling it out for the top spot at the box office this weekend. However, contrary to what might be suggested, they appear to be supporting each other wholeheartedly. In an interview with Capital FM, Lively playfully commented on her film, It Ends with Us. She joked:
“Hey there folks! Listen up, ’cause I’ve seen my fair share of superhero flicks, and let me tell ya, I ain’t gonna recommend Deadpool and Wolverine for this weekend. [chuckles] Now don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy a good action-packed movie, but that one, I’d rather skip it. But hey, if you wanna go, I can’t stop ya! After all, whether you choose to see Deadpool or Wolverine, I’ll still be the top dog at the box office [smirks]. So, go ahead and have fun, just remember to grab some popcorn for me too!” [laughs heartily]
As a fan, I must mention that Lively plays Lady Deadpool alongside Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in their joint venture. Meanwhile, the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s 2016 novel “It Ends with Us” is gearing up for a challenging debut weekend amidst the buzz of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” especially since it has been in theaters since July 26. Despite this, Deadpool appears to be maintaining its lead against the newcomer in the romantic drama genre.
Deadpool & Wolverine Will Repeat as No. 1 at Box Office
Despite potential backstage disagreements in the film It Ends with You, Blake Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds’ friendly competition is nothing more than that. Whether their romantic drama or the action-packed Deadpool & Wolverine takes the No. 1 spot at the box office, the couple comes out on top. However, if we’re keeping track, it appears the chimi-loving Mutant is poised to reclaim the top position in the charts again.
Currently, predictions suggest that “Deadpool & Wolverine” will earn an extra $53 million domestically (as reported by Deadline), while “It Ends with Us” is projected to bring in between $40 million and $45 million during its opening weekend. The new film featuring Lively has shown strong performance, earning approximately $23 million from its Thursday previews through Friday, August 9th.
On the specified initial screenings, the film “It Ends with Us” earned a gross of $7 million from previews. However, on Thursday, August 8th, “Deadpool & Wolverine” took the lead entirely, amassing an additional $9.1 million, further boosting its already remarkable worldwide accumulation. It’s expected that this total will surpass the $1 billion mark this weekend or no later than early next week.
Despite the rumored turmoil surrounding “It Ends with Us,” Colleen Lively’s intense drama is expected to perform well financially during its initial weekend, given a reported production budget of just $25 million – similar to the success achieved by Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney’s romantic comedy “Anyone but You.” At this stage, the producers of “It Ends with Us” may feel relieved that they are not responsible for the cinematic adaptation of “Borderlands,” which appears to be headed towards trouble during its premiere.
