Priyanka Chopra's Isn't It Romantic? Earns A Decent $24 Million At The US Box Office In The First Week

Priyanka Chopra's third Hollywood film has had a lukewarm response from fans. Considering how the film released on Valentine's Day, it managed to get all the attention hooked to their film. However, with the fervour of 'love' being 'in the air', the craze for Isn't it Romantic? has also reduced. The Rebel Wilson, Liam Hemsworth and Priyanka Chopra starrer raked in around $17 million in four days, as it released in the middle of the week. Since then, growth has been rather slow.

Interestingly, as the film clashed with a few more Hollywood films such as Alita: Battle Angel and Happy Death Day 2U. And Alita has done a very good job at the box office. The sci-fi film opened in North America on Thursday (after Isn't It Romantic?) with a good $41.7 million. This is certainly good news for filmmaker James Cameron, who has called the film his passion project.

While Alita has been made with a big budget of around $155 million, Isn't It Romantic? got wrapped in around $31 million. And since the film has already managed to cover a huge chunk of its budget through the box office collection, the chances of it surpassing its budget and turning into a profitable venture is quite high. Not to mention how it has only been 6 days so there is time for the film to rake in more money.

Starring Rebel Wilson and Liam Hemsworth in pivotal roles, Isn't It Romantic? explores the life of Wilson, a rom-com detesting woman from Manhattan. Things take a tumultuous turn when she suddenly finds herself, living her worst nightmare, in her very own romantic comedy! The film also stars Priyanka Chopra and Adam DeVine in pivotal roles and is set to release on Netflix on February 28 this year.
