Blake Lively Reacts to Ryan Reynolds Surprise, Talks to Taylor Swift | It Ends With Us Interview
Editorial Director/Box Office Editor
Husband and wife team Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are going head-to-head in theaters this weekend, despite the fact that their films are aimed at men and women respectively.
The biggest surprise everyone's been talking about is Wayfarer Studios and Sony's feature film adaptation of author Colleen Hoover's first novel, It Ends With Us , starring Lively and Justin Baldoni and directed by the latter. Presales have gone through the roof, with opening estimates that are pretty wild. On the low end is NRG's $23 million, which even if this $25 million co-production falls apart and opens at that level is still astonishing for a film with a female lead, the market, and Lively as the lead actress.
