Sydney Sweeney Says ‘Madame Web’ and ‘Anyone but You’ Make the Perfect Valentine’s Day Double Feature

Sony’s Will Gluck-directed Anyone But You crossed $200M globally over this past weekend, injecting fresh life into the romcom genre and proving yet again that when done right, these films can travel theatrically and bring audiences together for a communal experience. 

Sydney Sweeney is putting on her very own fashion show in New York City!

The first promo for her Saturday Night Live hosting debut finds Sydney Sweeney strolling through studio 8H, book in hand, when she bumps into castmember Michael Longfellow. She drops her book, he picks it up and goes into a reverie about the title – Haruki Murakami’s Kafka on the Shore – as romantic music swells. We hear Longfellow’s internal monologue as he gets the courage up to ask Sweeney out, but then the clip cuts to Sweeney and, well, let’s say she’s not interested.

Sydney Sweeney is stepping out amid her busy schedule!

Anyone But You co-stars Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell are looking for a new project to work on together.The pair have said they are actively looking through scripts to find another film that they would be able to star in alongside each other, after the runaway success of their latest project.Anyone But You recently surpassed the $200 million (£158 million) barrier at the worldwide box office, which makes it the first romcom to hit those heights since 2018’s Crazy Rich Asians, and the first R-rated entry in the genre to make that much money since Bridget Jones’s Baby in 2016.The film sees the pair play Bea and Ben – two people who hate each other. However, they decide to pretend to be a couple during a destination wedding in Sydney, Australia.And now, Powell has revealed in a red carpet interview at this weekend’s SAG Awards that they are already looking for a potential new collaboration.“When you find somebody that you really jive with, Sydney is so easy to work with and so fun,” he told Variety.

Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney might not be finished co-starring in romantic comedies!

Refresh for latest…: Paramount’s Bob Marley: One Love continued to sing sweet tunes in its sophomore session, adding $15M from 59 international box office markets for a drop of 37% from its above-expectations stellar opening. The overseas cume is now $49.4M for $120.6M worldwide.

Meredith Woerner Deputy Editor, Variety.com Could “Anyone But You” co-stars Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney be the next Julia Roberts and George Clooney? The duo’s work on the past romantic comedy brought in a cool $64 million at the domestic box office, eventually crossing the $100 million mark worldwide. Thus setting the twosome up as a bankable pair that the audience might be ready to watch fall in (and out) of love over and over. So what’s next for the couple that saved the rom-com? More scripts, revealed to Powell to Variety’s Senior Culture and Events Editor Marc Malkin at the SAG Awards on Saturday night.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Score one for true love! Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell’s romantic comedy “Anyone But You” hit a notable box office milestone with $200 million globally. It stands as the highest-grossing romantic comedy in years, outperforming recent star-driven entries in the genre like Julia Roberts and George Clooney’s “Ticket to Paradise” ($168 million) and the Sandra Bullock-led “The Lost City” ($192 million). “Anyone But You” is the first rom-com in half a decade to cross $200 million, since 2018’s PG-13 “Crazy Rich Asians” ($239 million), and the first of the R-rated variety since 2016’s “Bridget Jones’s Baby” ($211 million).

Saturday Night Live has set its latest tranche of hosts and musical guests.

She will be joined by musical guest Kacey Musgraves, who will be appearing on the show for the third time. Sweeney recently starred in the Spider-verse film “Madame Web” and has the new film “Immaculate” opening in theaters on March 22.

The next set of hosts and musical guests for Saturday Night Live have been revealed!

Made for a reported $25 million, Sony’s “Anyone But You” broke the supposed curse of the romcom not performing at the box office (and only working on streaming) this year. Slowly but surely, the Glenn Powell and Sydney Sweeney starring film crossed $189 million at the worldwide box office this past weekend.

In the wake of the dreadful “Madame Web” flop, the central question everyone seems to be asking themselves when it comes to Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSMU) is, what the hell is going on over there at that studio? (several post-mortems from Puck and THR are withering in their assessment of the SSMU, and Sony is definitely taking it in the teeth today) While Sony’s superhero movies have flourished when they are Marvel co-productions, “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” grossing almost $2 billion during the 2021 pandemic, and the “Spider-Verse” are big critical and commercial hits under Christopher Lord and Phil Miller, everything else appears to be a wash of late.
