After a lackluster performance at the box office (just $12.7 million), the romantic drama Love Again, starring Outlander’s Sam Heughan, has become a hit on streaming services.
According to FlixPatrol, the romantic comedy that was released just one week ago and is now available to subscribers in the United States is officially the platform’s most-watched movie since its premiere.
After having a difficult time throughout its run in theaters, Adam Driver’s dino-flop 65 experienced a successful comeback in the month of July.
In the film Love Again, Priyanka Chopra plays the part of Mira Ray, a woman who writes a number of passionate texts to the cell phone of her late fiance.
She was unaware that the number had been transferred to the work phone of journalist Rob Burns (Heughan), who played the role in the show. After being enthralled by Mira’s confession, he decides to recruit the assistance of world-famous singer Celine Dion in order to figure out how to capture the affections of the unknown woman.
Earlier this year, Heughan gave an exclusive interview to Digital Spy in which he praised the ‘My Heart Will Go On’ singer for her acting debut and asked, “Isn’t she wonderful? Simply said, she is an extraordinary human being.
“I believe that she should have been in a movie; however, I’m glad that she saved herself for us, and she’s created five new original tracks for us.”In addition, she has a great sense of humor, which, given the fact that she is such a seasoned performer, should not come as much of a surprise. She has her very own great love story, and I believe that she would be an excellent choice for this role because of it.
“She is such an approachable person, and I believe that shines through in her interactions with others.”
In the latter half of this year, Heughan will also appear in the psychological drama The Couple Next Door, which airs on Channel 4, as well as the second half of the seventh season of Outlander.
