Outlander's Sam Heughan's rom-com flop has become a Netflix hit
After a lackluster $12.7 million at the box office, Sam Heughan's Love Again has found success on streaming services.
The romantic comedy has been the most-watched movie on Netflix since its release last week, according to FlixPatrol. It is now available to users in the US.
After bombing at the box office, Adam Driver's dino-flop 65 had a similar reversal in July.In Love Again, Priyanka Chopra plays the part of Mira Ray, a grieving woman who uses her late fiancé's phone to send him a string of love SMS.
She had no idea that the number had been forwarded to journalist Rob Burns' (Heughan) work phone
He seeks the assistance of singing sensation Celine Dion in his quest to win with this mysterious woman, Mira, after being captivated by her confessional.
Earlier this year, Heughan made an exclusive statement to Digital Spy, praising the 'My Heart Will Go On' singer's acting debut, saying: "Isn't she wonderful?" She's just remarkable.
Her five new original songs are a blessing, and I'm pleased she spared herself for us—I really believe she could have been in a movie.
She's also really humorous, which comes as no surprise given her level of professionalism, but wow, is she fantastic. I think she'd be great in this because she has a wonderful love story of her own.
"She's such a down-to-earth person and I think she comes across that way."
Among Heughan's upcoming projects this year are the second half of Outlander season 7 and the psychological drama The Couple Next Door, both of which air on Channel 4.
