Directed by and also starring Justin Baldoni, the $25M co-production has become the biggest female-driven event title of 2024 and the biggest romantic drama since 2018’s A Star Is Born. It already has outgrossed the global lifetime totals for other major female-driven pics 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, in just 11 days.
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 Deadpool & Wolverine — starring Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds — 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).
