“It's Over With Us” was released at the same time as “Deadpool and the Wolverine,” starring Lively's husband Ryan Reynolds. The two films came in at No. 1 and No. 2, marking the first time in 34 years that a husband and wife duo topped the box office. The last time audiences enjoyed such a moment was in 1990, when Bruce Willis' “Die Hard 2” and Demi Moore's “Ghost” took the top two spots.
