Universal's romantic-comedy movie "Marry Me" — starring Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson — has received a dual release in theaters and on streaming service Peacock.
The movie was previously set to be released exclusively in theaters on February 11, 2022, in time for Valentine’s Day.
The decision comes as Hollywood studios face an uncertain marketplace for theatrical movies.
The movie also features GRAMMY-nominated superstar Maluma and marks JLo’s comeback to the romantic genre after big hits like “The Wedding Planner” and “Maid in Manhattan”.
“Marry Me” is based on the graphic novel of the same name by Bobby Crosby, centers around a pop star (Lopez), who is about to get married to her rockstar fiancee (Maluma) during a massive event at Madison Square Garden, however, moments before exchanging vows, learns he’s been cheating on her with her assistant.
After an on-stage meltdown, she picks a random man out of the crowd, a porced math teacher (Wilson) to marry instead.
