Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine’s romantic adventure “The Idea of You” has captivated nearly 50 million viewers worldwide within its first two weeks on Prime Video, marking the most successful romantic-comedy debut in Amazon MGM’s history, as confirmed by the studio.

Premiering at SXSW and launching on Prime Video on May 2, the film tells the story of a 40-year-old single mom (played by Hathaway) who finds herself in a whirlwind romance with a 24-year-old pop star (played by Galitzine). Directed by Michael Showalter, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Jennifer Westfeldt, the film is based on Robinne Lee’s book.

Julie Rapaport, head of film, production, and development at Amazon MGM Studios, expressed her excitement: “The extraordinary reception of ‘The Idea of You’ has been thrilling — from its record-breaking trailer views to its chart-topping soundtrack.

Now, audiences have truly fallen for this film, and we could not be prouder of our stars Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine, the brilliant vision of Michael Showalter, and the rest of the enormously talented cast and filmmaking team who made this such a smashing success.
