Tonight on TV: This romantic comedy starring Julia Roberts did better than Pretty Woman in France

Love at First Sight in Notting Hill: a cult romantic comedy from the 90s

When we think of “cult romantic comedy”, the film Love at first sight in Notting Hill by Roger Michell has a special place in the hearts of viewers around the world, on the same level as Current love OR Pretty Woman.

Published in August 1999 in France, Love at first sight in Notting Hill It is worn by two superstars of the time: Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. The first plays Anna Scott, a Hollywood star actress, known throughout the world, while the second portrays a small and unpretentious London bookseller. Even though these two were never supposed to meet, fate intervened when Anna decided to look for a travelogue in the bookcase of Hugh Grant’s character, William.

Soon, the two strangers fall in love at first sight, but their diametrically opposed lives initially drive them apart.

A great success in France for Julia Roberts

At the global box office, Love at First Sight in Notting Hill was a success, but it didn’t reach the 463 million dollars of Pretty Woman. The film, in fact, grossed 124 million (for a budget of 42 million). But in France, this love story that made many spectators dream was a great success, and even surpassed Pretty Woman in terms of voices.

Thereby, Notting Hill had attracted four and a half million viewers and ranked fifth at the French box office in 1999. For comparison, Pretty Woman ended its run with 4 million viewers.

Love at first sight in Notting Hill it still remains the second biggest success of Julia Roberts’ career in France, behind Ocean’s Eleven, released in 2001, which had a total of 4.6 million viewers. An excellent score for someone who had almost rejected this role at the beginning.
