‘The Broken Hearts Gallery’ Delayed Indefinitely By Sony
Warner Bros.' indefinite delay ofTenetis leaving a trail of broken hearts, one of which is Sony’sThe Broken Hearts Gallery. The Selena Gomez-executive produced romantic-comedy has been pulled from Sony’s release schedule, with no new date announced, in the wake ofTenet’s delay.
The delay ofTenethas caused ripple effects not onlyamong Warner Bros.' release slatebut to the schedules of other studios as well. Shortly after Warner Bros. temporarily movedTenetoff its theatrical schedule, Sony has pulledThe Broken Hearts Galleryfrom its schedule, undating the romantic-comedy with no new release date announced.
Deadline reports that Sony still intends forThe Broken Hearts Galleryto go theatrical and not straight to digital, but the studio is waiting to see how the current landscape shapes up. Sony is apparently eager forThe Broken Hearts Galleryto be one of the first theatrical releases once cinemas reopen safely, which is a lot of pressure for the sweet-looking, but not especially groundbreaking rom-com.
It’s uncertain why Sony is determined to pushThe Broken Hearts Gallerythrough the gates first. Despite Gomez’s name attached as executive producer, it doesn’t have any major household names, though leadsGeraldine Viswanathan(who stole the show in 2018’sBlockers) andDacre Montgomery(Stranger Things’redeemed bad boy) are both talented rising stars with a delightful chemistry. The filmdoes look promisingthough, and has the potential to be a sleeper hit for Sony had it been released in normal times. However, if Sony does releaseThe Broken Hearts Gallerystraight to streaming or digital, it may even amass even more of a word-of-mouth buzz just because of the online thirst for good, easily available rom-coms.
