George Clooney-Julia Roberts Movie Is Playing Abroad to Mostly Good Reviews, Not in US Til October 21st

Effectively, this can be a little bizarre.

A movie with two precise American film stars is enjoying in different international locations, however not right here, not but.

George Clooney and Julia Roberts — absolutely amongst our largest stars — headline a romantic comedy known as “Ticket to Paradise.” It’s launched by Common. Once I say launched, I imply elsewhere.

“Ticket to Paradise” doesn’t premiere within the US till October twenty first, greater than a month from now. However it’s enjoying in different international locations. To date it’s made round $2 million whole in locations like Spain, Brazil, and Greece. It’s additionally made $13,000 in Bolivia.

On Rotten Tomatoes, “Ticket to Paradise” has a decent 69%, with 32 critiques. Of these, 20 are constructive. The comedy is described as a type of goof, to not be taken severely, only a good romp with good wanting individuals. One reviewer known as it “really feel good escapism.”

So why isn’t right here in America? Common has to launch “Bros” first, that’s an enormous one, and so they’re concentrating on Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans” for the Oscars, so they’re busy. Additionally, they could be making an attempt to construct steam for “Ticket” around the globe so there’s good of mouth when it lastly opens domestically.

I really assume extra of those sorts of films would assist Hollywood, the Oscars, and so forth promote the model and the concept of American cinema. Leo Di Caprio has by no means been in a romcom. Why not? He can be nice as a modelizing bachelor making an attempt to court docket Anne Hathaway. We’d like these things. I believe the rationale we don’t have it anymore is this sort of film is taken into account dessert. Nobody who makes films eats dessert. They simply need lots of grilled greens!
