Sony/Wayfarer Studios’ It Ends with Us continues to blossom as it crosses the $200M global box office mark. With Wednesday’s numbers included, the Blake Lively-starring and produced adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s popular novel counts $204.4M worldwide, of which $106.7M is from domestic and $97.7M from the international box office.
There are box office flowers yet to bloom with several markets still due to release. Italy bowed yesterday, while China, Taiwan, Singapore, Korea and Japan are still on deck.
Directed by and also starring Justin Baldoni, the $25M co-production has become the biggest female event title of 2024 and the biggest romantic drama since 2018’s A Star is Born. It has also already outgrossed the global lifetime totals for other major female-driven titles including The Lost City, Girl on the Train and Where the Crawdads Sing.
This worldwide milestone comes after It Ends with Us cleared $100M at the domestic box office earlier this week, and that in just 11 days.
Watch on Deadline
When It Ends with Us started global rollout two weeks ago, it did so with a mega $80M worldwide launch and with only 68% of its overseas footprint covered.
Lively was integral to It Ends with Us creatively, and Sony also gets huzzahs for an ultimately perfect release date, falling two weeks after Lively’s husband’s Deadpool & Wolverine and into a marketplace that desired a grown-up movie targeted at women.
Here are the Top 10 markets overseas so far: UK ($17.2M), Australia ($10.1M), Mexico ($8.4M), Brazil ($7M), Germany ($6.5M), Spain ($4.2M), France ($3.2M), Netherlands ($3M), Saudi Arabia ($2.4M) and Sweden ($2.3M).
