As Blake’s ‘It Ends With Us’ completes its first week in theatres against Ryan’s ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’, fans are excited to hear the couple’s reaction to each other’s performance. Ryan and Blake are the second couple after thirty years, to compete at the box office. In a Today interview, Ryan replied to the much-asked question, “The only time in my life I’ve ever dreamt of coming in second.”

Ryan claimed, “I think that’s the sign of a good relationship.” The ‘Free Guy’ actor believes partners should support each other, even in competition.

The Marvel production has garnered $1 billion globally and $494.3 million in domestic sales. Meanwhile, Blake’s film is about to start its second weekend in cinemas. As of yet, the ‘It Ends With Us’ reached $50 million domestically in its first week. Before its release, Ryan posted a humourous interview with Blake’s co-star, Brandon Sklenar.

“Last week I walked around New York City with Hugh, and it was wild — it felt like we maybe saved a baby from a burning building or something,” Ryan addressed viewers’ reaction to Blake’s release. “People really, really found a lot of love and joy and happiness in the movie. And that’s the thing I’m most proud of.”
