As mid-budget Hollywood films became scarce in recent years, romantic comedies seemed to be a vanishing breed. But Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell seemed poised to revive the genre with Anyone But You. Directed by Will Gluck, the film created much hype before its release, teasing the sizzling yet hilarious chemistry between the leading stars. Since it arrived in theatres on December 22, the movie has grossed approximately $9 million at the box office. 

If one considers these numbers, it is a decent start and will be a profitable venture for the studio.

Anyone But You has the potential to make it big at the box office 

It has been less than one week since Anyone But You hit the theatres and in that time it has already racked up $9 million. There are good box office numbers compared to the film’s budget of $25 million. Though the film received mixed responses from critics, fans thoroughly enjoyed this modern take on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. They loved the love-hate relationship Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell shared as they tried to make it through the wedding as a couple.

The audience’s reception of the film implies the creators will cover the cost of the film and even make profits. People who follow the Euphoria star on social media might have seen her sharing the positive reactions from moviegoers. Fans of the actress filled social media with videos and pictures from the theatres swooning over her and Powell’s impeccable performances.

Not to forget, the romantic flick is yet to be released globally, which will add to the overall profits. The credit for the movie’s profits goes to the promotion antics where the stars themselves urged their fans to watch the flick.

Anyone But You recently dropped a clip featuring their leading stars. Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell addressed fans in the video, telling them that the film has arrived in theatres. The Set It Up star asked people to share their reviews and how they felt about the film. Then the Emmy-nominated actress jumped in and exclaimed, “We wanna hear everything” showing her excitement.

Despite their busy schedules, both actors have dedicated much time to promoting this film. Sweeney has been filming Eden in Australia, while Powell also started shooting the film Twisters in Oklahoma recently. However, only time will determine its ultimate box office success, considering the movie has opened against several other high-profile films, including Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
