Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell's 'Anyone But You' was a surprise box office success. How the movie may usher in a new wave of modern rom-coms.

When Anyone But You was released in theaters on Dec. 22, the R-rated romantic comedy starring Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney barely registered a blip at the box office in its opening weekend. Adapted from the William Shakespeare play Much Ado About Nothing, the film grossed only $8 million over its initial four-day Christmas period.
Then something surprising happened: It started gaining traction. Fueled by word of mouth, a massive TikTok boost and a growing audience appetite for mindless romps over big-budget tentpoles (like the underperforming Aquaman sequel), Anyone But You rebounded at the box office — peaking over New Year’s Day weekend when it earned $11 million.
The Bard-inspired movie has since become a sleeper hit, grossing more than $80 million domestically and $90 million internationally to date, according to BoxOffice Mojo, easily recouping the reported $25 million it cost to make. It reached No. 1 at the box office on its 18th day of release and remained there for four days.
