'It Ends With Us' Franchise May End Without Sequel Amid Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni Feud | THR News

The 'It Ends With Us' franchise might end with the feud between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Under ordinary circumstances, a sequel to the film would be a no-brainer. The Sony Pictures movie, which had a budget of $25 million, has already collected more than $180 million globally. But the well-publicized rift between star-producer Blake Lively and director-star Justin Baldoni has observers now wondering whether a sequel is viable, at least with both of them involved. Both Lively's character Lily and Baldoni's character Ryle are in the book sequel titled 'It Starts With Us.'

'It Ends With Us' Franchise May End Without Sequel Amid Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni Feud | THR News

Baldoni has the movie rights to the novel so just get Melissa Benoist (actual survivor of DV from her 1st marriage) to play Blake's character in the sequel done.

I had planned on watching this movie but because Blake is making waves I won’t. Nor will I see any movies with her.

[kslview]

Colleen is the author, Sony distributes the movie, Blake is a producer, Justin is an executive producer, has the rights to the books and director. Everyone siding with Blake.

Blake seems to be the one who is replaceable in this whole scenario.

[lmnophdz]

just get new actors like we wanted in the first place?! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[What-vk]

So Justin is producing Scarlett Johanson’s dictatorial debut 😂❤ that’s probably why Blake is salty

Justin will not come back. I will not go see this movie nor the sequel. I will not give my hard earned money to Blake and this drama she started. It’s really unfortunate because she could have used this movie to talk about domestic violence, but no. It could have been a breakout movie for Justin, Brandon, and the other actors, but Blake ruined that too. I’m just glad we see the real Blake. I do hope that the movie does what Justin wanted it to..help people who are in a domestic violence relationship.

Saw the movie yesterday. Don´t need a sequel. It was a satisfying ending.

[qwerttzizzi]

I see Blake with completely new eyes. So arrogant and full of herself. No way a narcisstic power couple from Hollywood would be decent and nice people.

[stickynorth]

No it won't... MONEY is the ultimate unifier.. Just ask the cast of the new Scream movie... 3 fired stars? All brought back!

[Whooadizz]

No need sequel for glorifiying DV story

[cinthyarodriguez]

Can we have the sequel and replace Blake Lively and casting Rachel McAdams as Lily Bloom for the sequel!!?! 😊

[marymiles]

I think Blake was too old for this role! Abigail Cowen was my pick!!! I say replace Blake!

[MamaLassie]

Blake should be producing movies with her husband. Give the acting jobs to newbies who need a break!

[KadeemG]

I’m going to be surprised if Sony announces a sequel. I enjoyed the movie. I think that the Blake and Justin feud is weird, Blake kinda gotten a little cocky on the interview. But I’m a Blake Lively fan so I think this story should give it some time.

This movie was made to demonstrate Christianity and islam

[jacandtea]

How about Blake not producing and not being recast? What about that option? @hollywoodreporter
