Emilia Clarke Wants Back In On Broadway
Emilia Clarke is down bad with Broadway nostalgia!
The actress has revealed her innermost desire to absolutely appear in a musical on Broadway, where she would get to show off her sonorous vocals over a decade after she debuted.
Emilia Clarke, who gathered a cult following during her appearance as Daenerys Targaryen on the hit HBO series “Game of Thrones,” also opened up about her health struggles off-screen while killing her role on-screen.
The actress, during the premiere of the jazz-inspired film “Next Life” at Tribeca Film Festival on June 5, revealed that she would never pass up the opportunity to fulfill her ultimate musical dream on Broadway.
On what project sits atop her dream list, Clarke identified “Sweet Charity” as a top pick, and it would be more special if she got to star in any production inspired by legendary choreographer Bob Fosse.
Clarke’s enthusiasm for returning to Broadway comes decades after she walked interviewers through her state of mind the first time she appeared on a Broadway stage. According to the HBO star, she was very much aware that her 2013 Broadway debut was not what she had hoped for. In her words:
“It was a catastrophic failure. It was just not ready. Was I ready? No, I was definitely not ready.”
She continued that appearing in “Breakfast at Tiffany” had strong undertones of unpreparedness, largely due to her age and limited experience at the time. However, PEOPLE noted that she made a triumphant return to the theatre seven years later in London’s West End in a 2020 production of “The Seagull.”
More Details About The ‘Me Before You’ Star’s Latest Artistic Venture
As her voyage into the musical world continues with “Next Life,” she described the filming experience as an unexpectedly memorable one.
The sci-fi romance movie captured the life of Ivy, a woman caught between two parallel realities and different romantic paths, with Édgar Ramírez and Jack Farthing starring alongside her.
Further reflecting on the project, and some pleasant shocks she experienced on set, Clarke revealed that the production came together in some form of iconic unity, which wrapped their story up excellently.
The actress also heaped tons of praise on Ramírez and Farthing, applauding them for always keeping the set atmosphere as warm and enjoyable as possible.
“Everyone just got on so well, and it was such a short amount of time that we were filming — it was kind of like being at sleepaway camp,” she added. Clarke also has other projects on the lineup, including the horror flick “When Darkness Loves Us” and the crime drama series “Criminal.”
Emilia Clarke Expressed Concern About The Aftermath Of ‘Game Of Thrones’ On Her Career
In 2022, the actress got candid with the BBC about the pressure of carrying around the burden of fulfilling the nearly impossible expectations of fans who knew her from “Game of Thrones.”
Clarke added that some viewers may carry preconceived notions and questions as to whether her talent can survive on stage compared to the safety of television.
Despite the underwhelming outing she had on Broadway in 2013, the actress affirmed that the stage still feels like home to her and performing live gives her a sense of comfort and belonging unlike any form of acting.
Clarke described theatre as the highest form of artistic expression for her, which provides an environment where she feels the most fulfillment.
The actress’s debut, “Sweet Charity,” was created by Cy Coleman, Dorothy Fields, and Neil Simon, and it debuted on Broadway in 1966 with Fosse’s direction and choreography.
The story attracted a bigger audience when it was adapted into a film in 1969, starringShirley MacLaine, and then went through another Broadway revival in 2005 with Christina Applegate clinching the lead role.
The 39-Year-Old Shared Some Fun Facts About Her Broadway Debut
Women’s Wear Daily shared in 2013 that Clarke shared her beauty routine for “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” with attendees at a Target event. The process behind creating the look for the character of Holly Golightly involved lots of DIY makeup routines.
Clarke revealed that she also performed in a wig, a deep brunette styled one, unlike the platinum hair she was famous for as Khaleesi on the HBO series.
She credited her makeup and skincare knowledge to her mother, who taught her at such a young age, and she still carried some of that advice with her, like letting her brows breathe and being consistent.
Behind the stage, Clarke revealed that production often involved about 25 costume changes in a fast-paced and very chaotic manner.
She recalled a mishap behind the scenes where she snagged her robe on a bad stool during the usual rush hour to change, and this led to a part of the set falling apart.
Emilia Clarke Reflected On The Health Battle That Coincided With Her Broadway Phase
The Blast noted in May that the media personality admitted that her move back to Broadway happened during one of her life’s toughest times.
Clarke’s career took off from the success of “Game of Thrones” after her breakout role, but she went through a life-threatening brain hemorrhage shortly after its first season.
She suffered from a second aneurysm while living in New York and performing in her first Broadway show, several years later, which she now admits affected her emotionally.
Speaking on the “How To Fail with Elizabeth Day” podcast, Clarke recalled that doctors had been monitoring the condition following her first hemorrhage; however, a procedure intended to fix it did not go as planned.
Her family had to deal with many updates from doctors that her condition had reached critical levels, she said. Although she recovered physically, Clarke admitted the second medical emergency left lasting emotional effects.
She spoke of choosing isolation, keeping her issues to herself, and always having to have her health problems on the back of her mind while living and working in the public eye.
Will Emilia Clarke’s Broadway dream see the daylight soon enough?

Time to roast the host!
Prime Video’s ongoing fantasy series has become a streaming hit. The Amazon-owned streaming platform has been making headlines lately, with shows like Spider-Noir and Off Campus catching audiences’ attention. But, this week, the streaming platform released the latest installment of its adult fantasy adventure.
The Legend of Vox Machina is an animated fantasy series that began as a Dungeons & Dragons web series/live stream called Critical Role, starring Matthew Mercer as the dungeon master and featuring Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham as the players. In 2019, a Kickstarter campaign was announced to help fund one animated special, but fans raised over $1 million within the first hour the campaign launched, leading to the show receiving a full season.
Since The Legend of Vox Machina debuted in 2022, the show has released three seasons and is currently airing its fourth. As of writing, the first three episodes of Season 4 were released, and over the weekend, The Legend of Vox Machina landed at #5 on Prime Video’s Top 10 charts worldwide, sitting between Clarkson’s Farm and Yo soy Betty la fea. With only three episodes out, Season 4 of The Legend of Vox Machina received high praise, earning a perfect critics’ score and a 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
What Is ‘The Legend of Vox Machina’ About?
Based on the first Dungeons & Dragons campaign of Critical Role, The Legend of Vox Machina is set in Mercer’s fictional world of Exandria. The series follows Vox Machina, a group of adventurers who undertake dangerous quests to protect the realm. In Season 3, the team faced the Chroma Conclave, a powerful alliance of dragons that sought to conquer Tal’Dorei. After defeating the Conclave, Vox Machina goes their separate ways. Scanlan Shorthalt (Riegel) leaves to travel with his daughter, Kaylie, while Keyleth (Ray) continues her Aramenté, with Vax’ildan (O’Brien) accompanying her. Meanwhile, Vex’ahlia (Bailey) and Percy de Rolo (Jaffe) begin a new chapter together in Whitestone. Season 4 picks up one year after the events of Season 3, exploring what has become of the members of Vox Machina since their separation. However, a new threat soon emerges, forcing the legendary heroes to reunite once again.
The first three episodes of The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4 are available to stream on Prime Video, with new episodes coming out every Wednesday. Follow Collider for more updates.

Travis Kelce found himself at the center of unexpected controversy after a joking comment from model Jena Sims sparked backlash among Taylor Swift’s fans.
The wife of golfer Brooks Koepka recently referred to the Kansas City Chiefs star as her “hall pass” while recalling their meeting earlier this year, a remark that quickly ignited criticism online.
While Sims appeared to be joking, many Swift supporters were unimpressed, with some accusing her of crossing a line by publicly discussing the NFL star in that way.
The controversy stems from comments Sims recently made while reflecting on her interactions with Travis Kelce.
The model first met the NFL star at a pro-am golf event in Scottsdale, Arizona, earlier this year.
Kelce and Koepka were paired together for nine holes during the tournament, giving Sims an opportunity to meet someone she had apparently admired for years.
At the time, she openly shared her excitement on social media. “I’m obsessed with Taylor Swift’s fiance even before Taylor was in the picture,” Sims said in a TikTok post.
She also uploaded a photo of herself standing alongside Koepka and Kelce at the event while supporting her husband on the course.
Months later, Sims revisited that encounter during an interview and made another comment that quickly grabbed attention online.
While speaking about meeting Kelce, Sims jokingly referred to him as her celebrity exception. “I was so excited to meet Travis Kelce, I mean, he’s my hall pass. Brooks knows that,” she said in an interview with PEOPLE.
The actress also admitted she specifically planned her outfit for the occasion because she knew the NFL star would be there. According to her, she decided to go for something a “little more sportier” than usual.
Sims revealed that her husband found the whole thing amusing. “Brooks was like, ‘You’re so ridiculous,’” she recalled.
Elsewhere in the interview, she also shared that Kelce recognized her when they crossed paths again several weeks later at the Masters. According to her, the interaction caught her completely off guard.
“He came straight up to me and was like, ‘Hey, it’s good to see you again,’” she said. The recognition surprised Sims because she never expected Kelce to remember her after their brief meeting in Arizona.
“I’m like, ‘Oh my God. You remember me?’” she recalled.
Although she clearly enjoyed the interaction, Sims joked that she will not be receiving an invitation to Kelce and Swift’s wedding.
Despite making the remarks as a joke, many Taylor Swift fans did not find the comments quite as funny. Several took to social media to criticize the interview, arguing that the remarks were inappropriate considering Travis Kelce’s relationship with the singer.
One user wrote per the Daily Mail, “This is the kinda sh-t you keep to yourself and don’t say in an interview…” Others were equally blunt in their reactions.
The backlash continued as Swift fans dissected various parts of Sims’ interview. Some were particularly surprised by her admission that she intentionally dressed differently because she expected to meet Kelce.
“To admit the outfit you’re wearing is because of Travis ….like wtf who says that in an interview,” one critic commented.
Another user questioned why the topic needed to be discussed publicly at all. “I’ve never heard of this woman but how disrespectful to all involved. Maybe she shouldn’t be publicly sharing her ‘hall pass’ as a joke,” they said.
Others summed up their reactions in simpler terms. “CRINGE,” one person posted.
Swift and Kelce’s Rumored Venue Linked To Attack That Left Five Injured
Amid the drama, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are getting ready to walk down the aisle this summer.
As the couple gear up for their big day, their wedding venue has been connected to a disturbing crime story.
As The Blast reported, a violent stabbing rampage unfolded just steps away from Madison Square Garden, the New York arena reportedly being considered for their wedding.
According to reports, five people were slashed inside Penn Station on June 7 when an assailant allegedly attacked victims at random inside the busy transit hub located directly beneath Madison Square Garden.
The incident immediately drew attention because Swift and Kelce are rumored to be planning to host between 1,100 and 1,200 guests on July 3.
Now, security concerns have become an even bigger talking point. Reports indicate Madison Square Garden quickly has implemented enhanced security measures for major events in the area, including increased screening procedures, perimeter controls, and stricter entry requirements.
Taylor Swift Reportedly Left Feeling ‘Very Vulnerable’ After Wedding Leaks Force Major Changes
Last month, The Blast reported that Swift and Travis Kelce were forced to overhaul parts of their wedding plans after a series of leaks exposed details about the highly anticipated event.
According to sources, the leaks were “incredibly disheartening” for the couple, with one insider claiming they had already changed venues and dates in an effort to protect their privacy.
“They’ve had to change venues and dates. It’s been such a monstrous headache, but even worse, it has left Taylor feeling very vulnerable. There are a lot of questions about who to trust,” the source said.
The reported breaches allegedly prompted Swift to become even more protective of the guest list, with strict no-plus-one rules implemented for many attendees.
Insiders claimed the singer didn’t want “random faces in the crowd” and was determined to prevent anyone from “spying” on the ceremony.
One source described the planning process as being “orchestrated like a military operation,” adding that Swift was willing to make “hard choices” if it meant preserving the privacy of what is expected to be one of the most closely watched celebrity weddings in recent memory.

‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Meets ‘The Lord of the Rings’ in This Fantasy Adventure Sleeper Hit
While science fiction has been dominating entertainment in 2026, fantasy has been on the rise lately, with the release of Masters of the Universe, Season 4 of The Legend of Vox Machina, and, arguably, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which has reached $1 billion at the global box office. With many fantasy-adventure projects coming out, it’s no surprise that fans of the genre are revisiting one of its most underrated films, which features a star-studded cast but was seen as a box-office disappointment despite high praise.
Recently, a handful of projects that were seen as disappointments at release have found new audiences on streaming. One current example is the Battleship movie — based on the board game of the same name and featuring a slew of A-list celebrities — which was one of the “biggest box-office bombs of all time,” but has made a streaming comeback. Now, another movie based on a popular board game has found a new audience on streaming.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves was a 2023 fantasy heist film based on the Dungeons & Dragons franchise. Recently, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves dominated Pluto TV’s Top 10 Movie charts during the weekend, ranking #1 in the U.S., just above Top Gun: Maverick. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves stars Chris Pine as Edgin the bard, as he embarks on a heist with his friend Holga the barbarian (Michelle Rodriguez), Simon the wizard (Justice Smith), and Doric the druid (Sophia Lillis) to take back a magic artifact from their former friend and con artist Forge (Hugh Grant), and regain the trust of Edgin’s daughter, Kira (Chloe Coleman). Alongside the main cast, the film also features Bradley Cooper as Holga’s ex-husband, Marlamin; the Australian comedy group Aunty Donna; and a live-action cameo from the main characters of the Dungeons & Dragons TV series.
Is ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ Worth Watching?
Since its release, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves has grossed over $208 million worldwide and was seen as a box-office disappointment. However, the movie was highly praised, earning a 91% Certified Fresh critics’ score and a 92% Verified Hot audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. According to critics, ScreenRant praised the movie’s action sequences and special effects, but there were moments where it may be hard to keep up with the Dungeons & Dragons references, especially for those who have not played the board game. Meanwhile, CBR also praised the movie, most notably the cast, who were able to bring their characters’ personalities and archetypes to life.
Collider’s Carly Lane gave Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves a “B+” rating. She praised the movie for being thoughtful and playful in its execution, and for its filmmakers, Jonathan Goldstein, John Francis Daley, and screenwriter Michael Gillio, for adapting a franchise without shoving Easter eggs or fan service into every scene.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is available to stream on Pluto TV. Follow Collider for more updates.

The twisted true crime series has hosted a number rising and veteran actors over the years.
Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance at the premiere of the highly anticipated fifth installment of “Toy Story,” more than a week after revealing that she had recorded a song for the film.
The pop superstar arrived at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, walking the red carpet in a patchwork dress. Later, Swift performed the song “I Knew It, I Knew You,” followed by a duet with legendary composer Randy Newman.
Swift has long been a fan of the “Toy Story” franchise, and her involvement was strictly kept under wraps, making the surprise reveal of her contribution to the film’s soundtrack even more exciting for fans.
On June 9, Taylor Swift was among the stars who attended the “Toy Story 5” premiere at the Dolby Theatre in L.A. The singer stunned in an adorable off-shoulder corset mini dress from Erdem’s 2026 fall/winter collection that she accessorized with a sparkling horseshoe pendant and gold heeled sandals.
Swift’s appearance was a welcome surprise. On June 1, the singer finally confirmed rumors that she was somewhat involved in the latest “Toy Story” movie. In an Instagram post, she shared with her millions of followers that she penned the original song “I Knew It, I Knew You,” for the film.
“I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie,” she wrote.
Tom Hanks Signed An Autograph For The Singer
According to USA Today, Swift had a fangirl moment with the film’s stars and asked Tom Hanks, who has voiced Sheriff Woody Pride for more than three decades, for an autograph.
The 36-year-old singer reportedly brought her VHS copy of the first “Toy Story” movie, which was released in 1995 when she was just 5 years old.
“I didn’t get a selfie, but I did sign her original VHS of the first ‘Toy Story.’ I told her she should have brought an original VHS machine, and we could have signed it. And that could go in the Smithsonian as well,” Hanks said of his interaction with Swift.
Taylor Swift Performed Her New Song Live For The First Time
Following the “Toy Story 5” screening, Swift took the stage for a surprise performance. Donning a flowing yellow dress, she sat behind the piano and did a stripped-down version of “I Knew It, I Knew You.”
The song, written specifically for Jessie’s character, is included in the “Toy Story 5” soundtrack. It marks Swift’s latest project with longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff, whom she worked with on several of her albums.
However, the surprise didn’t stop there. Next, composer Randy Newman took his place on the piano and performed a duet of “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” the main theme song of the “Toy Story” franchise.
A Decoy Was Created To Keep The Secret
After Swift’s revelation on June 1, “Toy Story 5” VFX Supervisor Thomas Jordan revealed that only a handful of people knew that Swift had a song in the movie. Jordan said the singer saw an early version of the film in February, wrote a song, and asked them if they wanted it.
The team then created a decoy version of “Toy Story 5,” one where Swift’s song wasn’t included, so they could show Pixar/Disney employees and press the film without spoiling the surprise. Jordan said that even the majority of the crew who worked on the movie did not know about Swift’s involvement.
Rumors Of Taylor Swift’s Involvement Spread In April
Despite the secrecy, eagle-eyed Swifties were quick to figure out several clues.
On April 30, Swift’s official website displayed a countdown clock, but it quickly disappeared. Those who saw it, however, noted that the background showed a blue sky with a few puffy clouds, which was similar to the wallpaper from “Toy Story.”
Later, the singer was spotted wearing a sky-blue dress paired with a yellow purse and red shoes, the signature colors of the “Toy Story” franchise. Then, billboards that featured the “TS” initials with a sky and clouds background appeared at different locations, sparking further speculation. It wasn’t until Swift’s Instagram post, however, that the rumors were confirmed.
In a post on June 5, Swift wrote, “Being a Toy Story kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.”
Love Island USA‘s Sol Dean got brutally honest about how the “taste” of Gabriel Vasconcelos‘ kiss made her reconsider exploring a romance with him.
During the Tuesday, June 9, episode of the Peacock show, Sol and Gabriel bonded at Soul Ties before they gave into the chemistry with a kiss.
“Gabe, he’s obviously handsome. But I can taste people’s pheromones when I’m kissing them,” Sol explained in a confessional.
The bombshell blamed the kiss for shifting her interest, adding, “Sometimes it just turns me off. My body’s just like, ‘That was not it, girl.’”
Love Island USA is all about coupling up — so which Islanders are currently together and which have already called it quits in the villa? Peacock’s popular dating show returned in June 2026 with contestants Aniya Harvey, Beatriz Hatz, Bryce Alakai Dettloff, KC Chandler, Mackenzie “Kenzie” Annis, Melanie Moreno, Sincere Rhea, Sean Reifel, Trinity Tatum […]
Gabriel’s fizzled-out romance with Sol came amid him being coupled up with Beatriz Hatz. Their future remained unclear after he secretly made a move on Sol, who also formed a bond with Sincere Rhea.
The newcomer previously turned heads when the Islanders had to read out sex facts and figure out which of them it was about during a challenge. One of the revelations was that an Islander slept with someone in their 50s.
“I was out and I was having a good time with my friends. She started talking to me and she was hot as f*** for her age,” Gabriel, who is 26 years old, said about his encounter with the 52-year-old. “We had a good night together. She had a lot of experience.”
Gabriel’s sexual history was then joked about when narrator Iain Stirling compared him to a “reverse Leonardo DiCaprio” due to the actor’s dating history. In addition to Gabriel and Beatriz, season 8 of Love Island USA features Aniya Harvey, Bryce Alakai Dettloff, KC Chandler, Mackenzie “Kenzie” Annis, Melanie Moreno, Sincere Rhea, Sean Reifel, Trinity, Corbin Mims, Kayda Bosse and Zach Georgiou.
Sol, Jen Terry and Caleb McDaniel are the newest group of bombshells who entered the villa in hopes of breaking up some couples.
Love Island USA follows a group of singles who must pair off in order to stay in the show’s luxury villa. The contestants — referred to as Islanders — live in isolation in a villa under constant video surveillance. They must be coupled up to remain on the show and earn a shot at the $100,000 prize.
While the islanders are filming nonstop for weeks, viewers are watching daily episodes and casting votes that affect the couples and the fate of the contestants.
Before viewers tuned in, Peacock issued a message to remind the audience to be kind.
“The Villa runs on good vibes, and so does this community. We love seeing your reactions, opinions, and debates, but everyone deserves to feel safe and respected,” read their statement. “This is a space for fun, not negativity – so keep it kind, keep it positive, and remember: this is LOVE Island!”
New episodes of Love Island USA are released six days a week — except for Wednesdays — on Peacock.

“It seems like she’s doing everything she wants to do,” Carmen Electra said of Pamela Anderson’s recent success.
Love Island USA‘s Sincere Rhea claimed Mel Moreno‘s behavior in the villa was putting their future as a couple at risk.
The Tuesday, June 9, episode of the Peacock show picked up with Sincere questioning how Mel was behaving with other guys – while not allowing him to explore connections with other women despite them not being “closed off” as a couple.
“I feel very disrespected,” Sincere told Mel in a heated argument. “You’re sitting there kissing every single body.”
Sincere specifically called out how Mel went back and forth between kissing him and Corbin Mims over and over again in a challenge, adding, “You were literally going ping pong with me and Corbin. It’s embarrassing. I felt disrespected and embarrassed.”
Mel, for her part, tried to apologize.
“I’m sorry. But do you know that I didn’t know that that was Corbin, right? I couldn’t see,” she told Sincere, who fired back, “But you could feel … He’s clearly different than I am.”
He continued: “Have your fun and explore. You are here to play this game but don’t play the game with me. I’m here for a reason. Then the cherry on top was when all they did was say Caleb [McDaniel] and then you started jumping up and down. We literally saw his feet and you were tweaking.”
Mel defended her reaction by saying she was more excited for Kenzie Annis.
“I keep hurting his feelings and I’m not trying to hurt his feelings,” she explained in a confessional. “I’m not doing anything on purpose but I think sometimes I guess I just do too much. He genuinely believes I knew it was Corbin. I did not. Me having fun and challenges does not delete everything I feel about Sincere, and I hate that he thinks that way. I f**ked up. ”
While Mel tried to apologize, the damage was done. Sincere started to heavily pursue new bombshell Sol Dean, who was just as interested in him. They kissed twice in secret before Mel walked in on them — and Sincere came clean.
Sincere tried to argue that he was still committed to Mel but she was clearly worried about their future together not that he was exploring with other women. Tuesday’s episode was also brought for KC Chandler and Aniya Harvey as they tried to figure out who closed off they actually were.

Meanwhile Zach Georgiou and Kayda Bosse realized they both had to explore other options because the other wasn’t completely writing anyone new off yet. The various cracks in the villa relationships came as Peacock opened voting up for the first time this season.
Viewers will have the chance to choose who each bombshell should pair up with — and that will ultimately decide the next recoupling.

Forget Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds Has Another Cult Classic That Deserves a Comeback [Exclusive]
Rumors continue to swirl around Welsh football club co-owner Ryan Reynolds, as the fingers of MCU fans are kept tightly crossed, wishing for Deadpool to join the Avengers for the upcoming Doomsday. Scheduled for release on December 18, the confirmed involvement of a jaw-dropping ensemble — including Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Florence Pugh, Pedro Pascal, and more — is impressive enough, but a cryptic post on Reynolds’ social media and his vague comments at the Toronto International Film Festival caught the attention of fans across the world.
It is now considered a realistic possibility that Reynolds will appear in Doomsday, although a cameo is most likely. Deadpool’s return is perhaps at the top of fans’ list of Reynolds character reprisals, but another that some will be hoping to see again comes from one of the actor’s early cult classics. The hugely underrated Just Friends, a comedy flick released in 2005 co-starring Reynolds and Amy Smart, was initially panned by critics upon release, with reviewers supposedly feeling “shortchanged” by a “lackluster” comedy.
However, time has been kind to Just Friends, with the film now considered a comedic gem from the mid-noughties, thanks to its subversion of comedy stereotypes and a frankly iconic performance from Scary Movie‘s Anna Faris. During a panel hosted by Collider’s Maggie Lovitt at the recent Indiana Comic Convention, Reynolds’ co-star Smart spoke of her love for the project, naming it as the one movie she’d love to return to. “I hope that we do a Just Friends 2. I just want that one,” Smart said. But where would Chris and Jamie be over two decades on? “There’s so many variations. I do think Chris and Jamie got married, I think they have kids, but I don’t know what kind of drama ensues,” Smart answered.
Was ‘Just Friends’ a Box Office Hit?
Sure, the movie proved unsuccessful with critics, but could Just Friends find enough of an audience for financial success? Against a reported production budget of $25 million, Just Friends just missed out on the all-important $50 million mark, with a total box office haul of $42 million. Split between $32 million in domestic revenue and a further $10 million from overseas markets, the film failed to even open inside the U.S. top five in its first weekend, although it faced the all-conquering Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
