Blake Lively’s ‘It Ends with Us’ Poised to Enter Top 20 of 2024 Box Office
Sit back, pop the popcorn, and brace yourself for a cinematic spectacle as the Justin Baldoni flick, ‘It Ends with Us,’ elbows its way to the coveted Top 20 in the 2024 domestic box office. This feat would be impressive enough on its own, but it becomes even more charged knowing that it’s set to leave the Jason Statham feature, ‘The Beekeeper,’ swatted down the rankings.
In financials, ‘It Ends with Us’ hadn’t done too shabby either, netting an impressive $86 million – a jaw-dropping $56 million domestically and another cool $30 million from international quarters. At this rate, Statham may want to consider trading his beekeeping suit for a cinema ticket.
Leading the charge on screen is none other than Blake Lively, who, alongside her better half Ryan Reynolds, occupies a snuggly perch atop the August box office power couple. With ‘It Ends with Us,’ Lively proves that you can have your significant other and outperform them too! As for Reynolds’ reaction, we can only imagine the playful banter that would follow over the breakfast table.
Plot Weaves and Character Arcs
Storylines adapted from novels are not exactly the Eight Wonders of the World, but this one is from the portfolio of the much-acclaimed author, Colleen Hoover. Centered around the tribulations and triumphs of Lily Bloom (played by Lively), the movie explores a confluence of past trauma, dreams, and romantic involvement.
Caught in this maelstrom is the dashing neurosurgeon Ryle (played by Baldoni), with an intensity that begins to unravel sides of him Lily is less eager to see. As the plot twists and twirls, a prism of emotions, memories, and experiences comes to the fore, inviting us into the nostalgia-tainted realities of the characters.
The movie is further bolstered by a star-studded line-up that includes Jenny Slate, Brandon Sklenar, Hasan Minhaj, Kevin McKidd, Amy Morton, and more. Don’t pin them as mere supporting actors, though; instead, consider them a constellation illuminating the narrative like polished jewels on a royal crown.
A Passion Project
With each passing day, ‘It Ends with Us’ closes in on securing that Top 20 position in the 2024 US Box Office. Here’s your chance to partake in the magic—grab those cinema tickets, fix yourself a date with popcorn, cheer at the triumphs, weep at the woes, while the money, like the reels, keeps rolling. And, remember, love isn’t just enough to carry a marriage through – cinemagoers also matter… a lot.
