The highly anticipated romantic comedy Anyone But You, which premiered in AMC Lincoln Square Theatre in New York on December 11, has grossed a staggering $200 million worldwide.

The film continues to extend its impressive box office run, and has become the first rom-com in five years to cross the $200m mark, since Crazy Rich Asians, which in 2018 grossed $239m.

It has also surpassed the previously highest-grossing Shakespeare adaptation, Romeo + Juliet in 1996, which collected an impressive $147.6m at the worldwide box office. 

Based on Shakespeare’s play Much Ado About Nothing, the film Anyone But You stars Top Gun’s Glen Powell and Euphoria’s Sydney Sweeny.

The couple unexpectedly find themselves at a destination wedding in Australia and pretend to be the perfect couple to keep up appearances.

Sydney had started her career with small roles in show such as Grey’s Anatomy and Pretty Little Liars; however, she rose to fame in 2019 for her portrayal of Cassie Howard in the HBO drama Euphoria.

Beginning his career with guest roles on television, Glen gained wider recognition for his supporting role in the action fim Top Gun.
