Harrison Ford’s Morning Glory didn’t exactly set the box office alight when it arrived in theaters in 2010. Following its recent 16th anniversary, though, audiences are giving the romantic comedy-drama another look.
On Nov. 12, the Ford and Rachel McAdams feature broke into Paramount+’s top 10 U.S movie chart, officially making it a streaming hit. According to FlixPatrol’s Nov. 12 rankings, Morning Glory is the No. 6 movie on Paramount+ in the United States, behind the likes of One Mile: Chapter One, One Mile: Chapter Two, Ballistic, Bad Santa, and Dracula.
The streaming platform added the comedy-drama to its lineup on Nov. 1. It first hit theaters on Nov. 10, 2010.
“Newly hired as a producer on a national morning-news program called ‘Daybreak,’ Becky Fuller (McAdams) decides to revitalize the low-rated show by bringing in legendary anchorman Mike Pomeroy (Ford),” reads the film’s description. “Pomeroy, however, refuses to do puff pieces like celebrity gossip and fashion, and clashes with his co-host (Diane Keaton). Meanwhile, Becky’s romance with a colleague begins to unravel, leaving her struggling to save her relationship, her job and the show.”
‘Morning Glory’ Faced Polarizing Reviews in Its Initial Run
Despite its current success, Morning Glory faced polarizing reviews in its initial run. The movie carries a 57% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, with some describing it as “contrived” and “charmless.” Another called it a “lackluster knockoff” of Devil Wears Prada. More positive reviews applauded the veteran cast—which includes Ford, McAdams, Diane Keaton, and Patrick Wilson—for their efforts to inject humor into the big screen story.
At the global box office, the movie only made $60 million against a reported budget of $40 million, leaving little room for profit for Paramount Pictures. For Ford, Morning Glory proved to be yet another personal box office disappointment within a span of 10 years.
