It’s currently unclear how long filming took place, but as the film gears up for release, filming has now definitely wrapped.
Your Place or Mineis a classic romantic comedy that harkens back to the golden age of the genre – the early 2000s – with a modern twist in the style ofwhatMarry Medidwith Jennifer Lopez in charge. Even though the film is in an advanced stage of post-production, it doesn’t seem that its premiere in the months that remain before the end of the year makes sense. October is officially the spooky season, and when it’s over, the Christmas-themed movies start rolling in. Although the latter usually have a love story at the center, they are not in the same vein asYour Place or Mine. Therefore, 2023 seems to be the ideal time to release the film.
And there is no more perfect time to do it than in February, the month of love. Valentine’s Day is the official day for rom-coms, andYour Place or Minepremieres close enough, as it’s coming to Netflix on February 10.
