‘It Ends With Us’ Banks $7 Million in Sneak Peeks

Hey there, Bollywood buffs and box office bandits! Hollywood Hrishita here, ready to spill the tea on the latest flicks lighting up the screens (or not) in Tinseltown! Let’s dive into the dramatic, the delightful, and the downright disastrous!

So, after prancing around red carpets for her hubby Ryan Reynolds’ "Deadpool & Wolverine" (because what else do you do when you’re married to Deadpool?), Blake Lively has finally stepped back into the limelight with Sony’s "It Ends With Us." This one’s a juicy adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s romance novel that’s been burning up TikTok like your ex’s old love letters.

Box Office Buzz:

"It Ends With Us" raked in a neat $7 million during Thursday previews. Not too shabby, right? The crystal ball of Hollywood predicts it’ll pocket anywhere between $25 million and $35 million. Some optimistic folks even think it might hit $40 million to $50 million. 🤯 Who knew TikTok could be so powerful? If the fangirls (and boys) show up in droves, it might even outshine "Deadpool & Wolverine" on opening day. Now that would be a plot twist!

But hold your horses 🐎, because "Deadpool & Wolverine" is expected to dominate the box office for the third week straight, adding another $47 million to $50 million to its stash. Oh, and it’s about to cross the $1 billion mark globally. No biggie. Just another day in the Marvel Universe. 🙄

The Love Triangle Drama:

In "It Ends With Us," Lively plays Lily Bloom (yes, that’s her actual name), a florist who falls for a hunky neurosurgeon, Ryle Kincaid, played by Justin Baldoni (who’s also the director—talk about multi-tasking). Just when things get cozy, Lily’s childhood buddy Atlas Corrigan (Brandon Sklenar) pops back into her life. Cue the jealousy, the drama, and the "who will she choose?" conundrum. With a production cost of just $25 million, this flick might just bloom into a box office hit!

Meanwhile, in Misfire Land:

Lionsgate decided to roll the dice with "Borderlands," a video game adaptation starring Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Jack Black. Despite the celebrity filled cast, it’s looking more like a dud than a hit. With a budget of $115 million and only $1.32 million from Thursday previews, it’s projected to make a measly $12 million to $16 million over the weekend. Ouch. 🎮🚫

Moral of the Story: Sometimes, no matter how many stars you throw into a movie, it’s the storyline that counts. And hey, if all else fails, just go viral on TikTok! 😂

Stay sassy, stay sarcastic, and keep your popcorn handy!
