The Big Picture The recent romantic comedy, Anyone But You, has grown into a sizable box office hit. On a relatively small budget of $25 million, the entertaining, raucous enemies-to-lovers romp has unexpectedly grossed over $88 million domestically and more than $210 million worldwide. However, Anyone But You is undeniably a sleeper success, hopefully indicating an upcoming resurgence in the rom-com.
The current slate of modern blockbusters is woefully lacking in epic, charming romances. Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, while a very entertaining action film, had little in the way of strong romance despite its stronger focus in past installments. While previous entries of the franchise built up a potential romance between Ethan Hunt and Ilsa Faust , the latest installment unceremoniously abandons any semblance of a romantic subplot between the two.
'Anyone But You' Is Not the Only Recent Rom-Com Success Story Close While Anyone But You became a box office sensation, it is by no means an exception or outlier. Multiple other recent examples prove that audiences still enjoy a good rom-com experience. The Lost City, starring Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum, did exceedingly well in theaters at a time when audiences were still apprehensive about going back after pandemic restrictions were lifted.
