Di Tengah Drama Pemainnya, Film It Ends With Us Dilarang Tayang Di Qatar

Still cut It Ends With Us (Sony)

JAKARTA - Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively's latest film, It Ends With Us is prohibited from airing in Qatar. This prohibition is due to the kissing scene between the cast.

Launching Deadline, the censorship committee in Qatar plays an important role in determining films that are shown in theaters. This film with a PG-13 rating tells the story of a relationship with domestic violence conflicts experienced by a woman.

This ban is not the first time. Previously, several films such as Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Eternals were a series of titles banned.

In addition, films such as Barbie, Anyone But You, No Hard Feelings and West Side Story also received a ban on screenings in theaters.

This ban comes amid allegations of conflict between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively as the main characters. Both are said to have different creative vision so they promote this film separately.

Recently, Baldoni recruited Vet Melissa Nathan as PR to handle this news. Nathan is known to be the person who also handled Johnny Depp's case against Amber Heard.

Di sisi lain, It Ends With Us mulai memperoleh titel box office setelah meraih 50 juta dolar AS dalam pekan pertama perilisan. Film ini bersaing dengan film Deadpool & airing yang dibintangi suami Lively, Ryan Reynolds.

It Ends With Us tells the story of Lily Bloom (Blake Lively) who meets Ryle (Justin Baldoni) who lives in the same building. The relationship between Lily and Ryle is running full of ups and downs related to domestic and abusive violence.
