“Everyone who sees it absolutely loves it,” said Jim Orr, Universal's president of domestic distribution. “Billy Eichner, Nick Stoller and Judd Apatow have created a movie that’s heartwarming and hysterically funny.” According to exit polls, 52% of the audience was male and 68% were ages 18-34 for the R-rated film. Playing in 3,645 locations, “Smile” started strong with $2 million from Thursday night previews, too, and had a 4% uptick Saturday, which is almost unheard of for genre films that usually decline after the first night.“It's remarkable, particularly when you take the budget into account.
Effusive praise for the gay rom-com when it was lapped by a premiere and 2 movies that have been out for weeks. And no, it will not do better moving forward even without no significant premieres next week.
