Cast

Production

In July 2019, Justin Baldoni optioned the novel for a film adaptation, to be produced through his Wayfarer Studios company.[12] In January 2023, Blake Lively was cast in the role of Lily Bloom. Baldoni, who will play Ryle Kincaid, is set to direct and Christy Hall will adapt the script.[13][14] In April 2023, Brandon Sklenar was cast to play the role of Atlas.[15] Filming began in Hoboken, New Jersey at Field Colony, a workspace and art gallery, on May 5, 2023.[16] Later that same month, Hasan Minhaj was announced to have joined the cast.[17] The next month, production had to temporarily pause due to the 2023 WGA strike.[18] Just over half of the film was completed when production shut down.[19] The production was still on hold when the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike began on July 14, 2023.[20] Filming resumed in the Newport neighborhood of Jersey City on January 5, 2024.[21][22] That same month, Isabela Ferrer and Alex Neustaedter joined the cast as the younger versions of Lily and Atlas, respectively.[23]

Rob Simonsen and Duncan Blickenstaff composed the film score. Madison Gate Records has released the soundtrack, coinciding with the film's release date.[24]

Release

The film was originally set to be released theatrically in the United States on February 9, 2024,[19] and June 21, 2024,[25] but the release date was pushed back to August 9, 2024.[26]

It was released earlier on August 7 in Belgium,[27] Finland,[28] the Philippines,[29] and Sweden.[30]

Reception

Box office

In the United States and Canada, It Ends with Us was released alongside Borderlands and Cuckoo, and is projected to gross $23–30 million in its opening weekend, with some estimates going as high as $40–50 million.[5] The film made $24 million on its first day, including $7 million from Thursday previews night.[31]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 59% of 120 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.5/10. The website's consensus reads: "Earnestly performed if marred by clunky dialogue, It Ends With Us is surprisingly at its most graceful when handling the more provocative elements of its melodramatic source material."[32] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 54 out of 100, based on 38 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[33] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A–" on an A+ to F scale, while those surveyed by PostTrak gave it an 85% positive score, with 69% saying they would definitely recommend it.[31]
