“It Ends With Us,” which premiered last week, was the top-grossing film at the U.S. box office on Friday. The Blake Lively-starring film had a better opening weekend than Marvel’s hit “Deadpool & Wolverine,” in which Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds plays the bad-boy ex-superhero.
“It Ends With Us,” about a florist (Vital) who falls in love with a neurosurgeon (Justin Baldoni), took in $24 million nationwide on its first day after its premiere. American media outlets described it as a great start for the film on a budget of just $25 million. The film beat out “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which took in $15.7 million on its third Friday after its release in the United States.
Experts expect Deadpool & Wolverine to take on It Ends With Us again on Saturday. Analysts estimate that the Lively-starring film will earn between $45 million and $50 million over its entire opening weekend. Her husband and good friend Hugh Jackman made $205 million in its opening weekend with the superhero movie.
The last time two films by a married couple topped the U.S. box office was in 1990. Then, Die Hard 2, starring Bruce Willis, made $14.5 million in its second weekend, and Ghost, starring Demi Moore, made $12 million in its second weekend. Opening weekend.
