The film finished in eighth place in the end of year rankings, just above The Fifth Element and The Full Monty, and just behind As Good As It Gets and Liar Liar.
Despite this, My Best Friend’s Wedding never actually made it to the number one spot in the US. Indeed, in its opening weekend if was denied pole position by none other than notorious franchise killer Batman And Robin.
It’s not just Hollywood that resorts to endless reboots, reimaginings and remakes. The Chinese film industry is also no stranger to the adaptation, and hot on the heels of Only You and What Women Want, My Best Friend’s Wedding became the latest US rom-com to receive a Far East makeover in 2016.

Julia Roberts also paid homage to the same scene during an appearance at the A-list Lancome’s Stars and Wonders Gala in 2017. Encouraged by a mobile phone-waving Penelope Cruz, Roberts can be seen singing along to a performance of the 1967 hit alongside the Spanish actress and fellow attendee Kate Winslet.
The scene in which everyone watches Kimmy throwing the bouquet was filmed at Vernon Hills’ Cuneo Museum and Garden. The crew had to remove the building’s large red carpet in preparation for the sequence, but forgot to tell anyone where they stored it. It was only found by the museum staff several months later.
Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz may have been rivals on screen, but the former was actually responsible for casting the latter off it.
