‘It Ends With Us’ screenwriter on the potential for a sequel to the new Blake Lively movie

Given the speculation that Baldoni and Lively clashed when it came to the final cut of the movie, it’s unclear if the two would be up for getting the band back together for a follow-up.

But for those curious, here’s what happens in the second book and what screenwriter Christy Hall had to say about the likelihood of a sequel.

Everyone in Hollywood wants a piece of the Colleen Hoover empire, the film’s screenwriter told BI

While “It Ends With Us” has had a mixed response from critics, audiences have heaped praise on the big screen adaptation, and it currently holds a 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

But as any Hollywood exec would tell you, the likelihood of a sequel will likely depend on the movie’s box office performance.

The film is eyeing up an opening weekend likely north of $40 million, Variety reported, meaning it may make back more than its $25 million budget.

That’s not to say that the plot is drama-free entirely; themes of abuse weigh heavy on the story once again, with Atlas Corrigan (played by Brandon Sklenar in the movie adaptation of “It Ends With Us”) discovering that he has a younger brother named Josh, who has run away from his abusive household.

The book also shows how Lily is able to set boundaries to keep herself safe both physically and mentally.

While fans will have to wait and see if “It Starts With Us” will make it to theaters, it seems another Hoover adaptation is already on the way.

The author’s 2018 novel “Verity” is in development at Amazon MGM Studios, Variety reported in May.
