Michael Showalter’s ‘The Idea Of You’ On Track For Amazon MGM’s Biggest Rom-Com Debut


Michael Showalter's 'The Idea Of You' is on track to command Amazon MGM's biggest ever debut for a rom-com with 50M viewers in its first two weeks.

“And now, audiences have truly fallen for this film, and we could not be prouder of our stars Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine, the brilliant vision of Michael Showalter, and the rest of the enormously talented cast and filmmaking team who made this such a smashing success.” Based on the bestselling novel by Robinne Lee, The Idea of You centers on Solène (Anne Hathaway), a 40-year-old single mom who begins an unexpected romance with 24-year-old Hayes Campbell (Nicholas Galitzine) — the lead singer of August Moon, the hottest boy band on the planet — while at Coachella with her daughter. Ahead of the film’s release, Amazon MGM Studios conducted 142 word-of-mouth screenings globally, also hosting an “international rom-com tour”” in New York to famous locations from classic romantic comedies that are all available to watch on Prime Video, such as the diner from When Harry Met Sally and the Empire State Building from Sleepless in Seattle.
