The comedy recently opened to $16.3 million at the domestic box office. It was runner-up to Dwayne Johnson-led superhero flickBlack Adam, which claimed the top spot this past weekend.
Though it’s currently sitting at an 88% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, Robertsjoked early on that the romantic comedy would be “terrible.”
“I think it’s so funny and George is so funny and George and I together, it’s probably going to be terrible because there’s too much potential for it to be great,” thePretty Womanactress toldVarietyin May. “It’ll just implode on itself.”
