And a peculiar PR campaign only made everything worse.
This summer, the world of film distribution did not escape a loud scandal that divided the crew of the long-awaited new film into two camps – and now everyone who did not have time to see it in cinemas can appreciate the film.

Based on the novel of the same name by Colleen Hoover, the drama follows Lily Bloom as she meets her first love years later. Forgotten feelings quickly flare up again, but giving a second chance to a relationship is not so easy – Lily is already in a complex abusive relationship with the apparently charming neurosurgeon Ryle, and ending this novel will be a real challenge for the heroine , who will determine her fate.
This summer’s premiere of “It Ends with Us” turned into one of the loudest scandals in recent months — largely due to lead actress Blake Lively’s desire to promote the film as a romantic comedy, and not as a film primarily place is being addressed millions of girls become hostages of abusive relationships.
However, the entire barrage of criticism that fell on Lively didn’t particularly harm the film; the film was a major grosser $335 million with a budget of 25 million.
