You’ve probably seen billboards on the street or videos announcing the release: Blue & Company, the film starring Ryan Reynolds and directed by John Krasinski, will be released in May 2024. In this comedy that mixes characters in computer-generated images and real footage, we follow Bea, a young girl who discovers that she can see her imaginary friends, but also those of others. His mission? Try to reconnect as many people as possible with your forgotten imaginary friend.”An adventure you have to believe to see” we hear. Although the film has received mixed reviews from the press (49% on Rotten Tomatoes), it is still appreciated by viewers, who give it a rating of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes. It is not uncommon to read that the film is particularly touching.

The cast includes Ryan Reynolds, John Krasinski (who also directs the film), Cailey Fleming and Fiona Shaw. As charming as the actors in the feature film may be, Blue & Company unfortunately struggles to connect with its audience. As of this writing, the feature film has grossed just over $170 million at the worldwide box office. A number that may seem very good at first glance. However, and as we recall, Screenrant, With an estimated budget of $110 million, Blue & Company is far from profitable, as Hollywood films typically have to make 2 to 2.5 times their budget to make a profit.
