Box Office: ‘It Ends With Us’ Begins With Impressive $24 Million Opening Day, ‘Deadpool’ Holds Strong as ‘Borderlands’ Crumbles
Blake Lively's drama 'It Ends With Us' had a strong opening day at the box office, while 'Borderlands' misfired against a $115 million budget.
The Justin Baldoni-directed feature stars Lively as a florist that falls for a neurosurgeon (also Baldoni) who is then forced to face harsh realities when the arrival of a childhood friend (Brandon Sklenar) complicates her relationship. The writing has been on the wall for a while now with “Borderlands.” Now opening more than three and a half years after principal photography kicked off, the would-be franchise-starter has earned the worst critical response of any wide release this summer. Even so, the very bad buzz for “Borderlands,” which stars names as varied as Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Edgar Ramírez, Ariana Greenblatt and Jamie Lee Curtis, would indicate that the ensemble actioner is shaping up to be a considerable failure theatrically.
