The Future of the Black Rom-com Shouldn’t Depend on You, Me & Tuscany
Universal’s new romantic comedy, You, Me & Tuscany, had a solid opening weekend in theaters. It debuted at number four among new releases, behind Super Mario Bros. 2, Project Hail Mary, and The Drama, earning $8 million domestically against an $18 million budget. The film also made $1.1 million internationally. With a 70% score on Rotten Tomatoes and positive audience reviews, You, Me & Tuscany could become a sleeper hit in the coming weeks. Alternatively, it might fade quickly, recouping its costs through on-demand rentals. Either way, it’s unlikely to significantly impact Universal’s overall financial performance, especially with major releases from Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg, and Minions still to come this year.
