The adaptation of Shakespeare’s lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers story Much Ado About Nothing, titled Anyone But You, has grossed $189 million globally, making it the second highest-grossing live-action Shakespeare adaptation ever.
The solely different live-action adaptation of the Bard’s to beat it — if we aren’t counting 2019’s Lion King, since it’s CGI — is Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet, which grossed $300 million when accounting for inflation.
Anyone But You, starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, is just a little completely different from another diversifications, although. Instead of specializing in the principal characters of Much Ado About Nothing — Claudio and Hero — it facilities secondary characters Beatrice and Benedict. In it, Bea and Ben have an amazing first date, however issues quickly flip bitter. After they notice they’re going to the identical vacation spot marriage ceremony, they determine to fake to be a pair for various causes. Romantic comedy and spiciness ensue.
