Chris Evans Reveals the Most Romantic Thing He Ever Did – for Himself



By Matthew Cole Weiss @MattColeWeiss

09/03/2015

Beneath the muscles and the machismo of Captain America, there's a softer side to Chris Evans – at least according to the actor himself.

"I'm a pretty romantic guy," Evans, 34, told PEOPLE at the premiere of his directorial debut, Before We Go, in Hollywood on Wednesday night.

"I don't necessarily limit the notion of romance to people, though. I think I have a romantic relationship to art, to music, to nature," added Evans.

With that in mind, he also revealed the most romantic thing he's ever done for someone – even if that someone was himself: "I went camping once for three weeks by myself, which is very romantic," he told reporters. "It's true. It was very romantic, but maybe not in the conventional sense."

The first-time director also stars in the film as a trumpet player who spends one night with a stranger who may or may not be the love of his life.

"It's two people who are somewhat damaged and find some peace in the arms of a stranger. I think that sometimes that's the best place to go," Evans said. "Sometimes you can really spill your guts when you're talking to someone who has no judgment."

Through the years, Evans has been linked to many actresses, including Jessica Biel, Minka Kell 5b4 y, Sandra Bullock and, most recently, Lily Collins. But hints that right now he's simply married to his movie.

"Oh God, I couldn't even think about my own life," said Evans when asked if he's ready to stop playing the field and settle down. "I had no life during this movie. This movie was all about the movie and that was it."

Either way, be prepared to see a sensitive Chris Evans in Before We Go, not just the butt-kicking Captain American role we're used to.

"There's a lot less punching in this one," he said with a laugh.

Before We Go is available on VOD and iTunes now, and will be in theaters Sept. 4.

One of the best interviews I've read!!


INTERVIEW | CHRIS EVANS GETS CANDID ABOUT DIRECTING, CRITICS
"The only reason I’m here is because I throw a shield around," says the actor-turned-director.

by William Bibbiani

If you give Chris Evans an opportunity, he's going to take it. This week the star of Captain America: Civil War is celebrating the release of his first film behind the camera, a romantic drama called Before We Go, in which he co-stars with Alice Eve (Sta 5b4 r Trek Into Darkness) as strangers who spend one eventful night together in New York City, and get personal in the process. He had an opportunity to direct a film and he took it, and if you give him the freedom to be honest in an interview, he'll take that too.

I sat down with Chris Evans at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills to find out more about his first foray into directing. What I got was straight talk about why his first film is only about two people talking, his anxieties about turning his interests into a job, an explanation about why he doesn't pay attention to critics, and a confession that maybe, just maybe, he doesn't deserve to be directing a movie at all.

But, as Chris Evans is quick to point out, that's just his opinion. Before We Go is now playing on VOD, and arrives in select theaters this weekend.

Crave: You seem to have a smile on your face. Has it been a good day?

Chris Evans: Yeah! You’re my last interview. [Laughs.]

Well let’s go nuts with this one then. What has everyone been asking you so far?

“Why did I pick this project?” That seems to be the go-to one and I have a horribly candid, embarrassing… well, it’s not a bad answer but it’s the truth! You know? You’ve got to give the truth. It’s because look, I like this project. I wish I could say I read the script and it was the only script I thought about and I just felt passionate ab 16d0 out the story. The fact is, being a first-time director, not everyone’s going to give you a chance. You know what I mean?

First you’ve got to find a script that’s available, that no one else is doing. You’ve got to find a script that’s manageable, something that you can handle. You’re not going to, your first time out, do some sweeping epic. And you’ve got to find producers that are crazy enough to give you a shot. So this kind of… all the moons align and it just kind of felt like, you know what? I’m okay with my first time out just trying to get my feet wet. I’m not trying to set the world on fire.

That’s an interestingly pragmatic answer.

And that’s the problem! I think in these interviews it’s tough to say, because being an artist, being a creative person, you kind of want to say every outing, every single thing you do is born out of a dire need. It’s like, I’m okay saying this is one movie. This is one movie in hopefully a chain of movies, and this is essentially my film school. I’ve never done anything before so I’m okay aiming here and just trying to learn and educate and get my feet wet, and take the knowledge from this one to the next one.

I keep using this quote someone else said, “If it’s your first time in the kitchen you’re not trying to whip up a soufflé, you just don’t want to burn the house down.” I’m just trying to learn and this movie was wonderful for me in the sense that I didn’t feel like I was drowning. It would really be a lousy experience to realize ten days into filming that I bit off more than I can chew, and I certainly have the bug. I can’t wait to do it again.

It’s a smaller project, yeah, you weren’t shooting in millions of locations on a giant budget, but every movie is hard. Was there a moment when panic sets in, “oh god we lost our location,” anything like that?

Every night we were panicked about not getting hit with snow. We shot in December in New York City so every night we’re just like, “Man, please no snow…”

Thank god for global warming.

I know, right?! See? It’s helping me out. Yeah, if we get hit with snow our continuity is obviously *beep* No, I mean for me it was more about maybe… oh god, how honest do you go…?

"If I were a songwriter I wouldn’t write my song for a critic. If I were a painter I wouldn’t paint my picture for a critic."

All honesty all the time.

I mean maybe in the editing room you think, “Man, maybe we could have aimed a bit higher.” You know, the script was very… I like simple. I do like simple. I think there’s beauty in simple. Some of my favorite movies are simple movies, and there was a beautiful simplicity to this story that I actually found to be sweet and romantic and touching, without trying to reinvent the wheel. There may have been a time in the editing room when you think, man, maybe we could have aimed a little… you know, pushed the ceiling a bit more. But that’s okay. Again, it doesn’t all have to be here right now.

There’s a journey to this and I think if you get caught up, I think that’s how a lot of artists start to lose something. If you start doing your work for the expectation of someone else, if you start doing something because you think someone else is going to judge you for not stretching, or whatever it is, you know what I mean? I’m perfectly okay recognizing this is a process and I don’t pretend to know everything. I need to learn a little bit before I start swinging for the fences.


I’m curious. You mentioned that this is your film school. Does that mean you’re going to really pay attention to all the reviews, and look at how people are responding to your first time out and what you can do differently next time?

Well, I don’t think film school… I mean, forgive me if you actually are a critic…

I am a critic and I went to film school.

Okay, but I don’t think you make things… like, if I were a songwriter I wouldn’t write my song for a critic. If I were a painter I wouldn’t paint my picture for a critic.

Of course not.

You do it because it’s something you are inspired to do. Whatever I’m inspired to do tomorrow is what I’m going to follow myself to do. I think film is the one business where you have a lot of voices. I don’t think there are as many critics in the music world. There aren’t [as] many critics in the art world. The film world, everyone gets a voice and everyone has an opinion, and if you start… I’m trying to be happy in my life and I think a big piece of that is going to come when I’m on my death bed [laughs], is looking back and knowing that I did things for me, and I think it’s very easy to go online and start reading the millions of people who have a voice, who have an opinion, just because they… we’re probably not going in the right trajectory here…

You’re fine.

But listen man, anyone can go to film school, dude.

"Somewhere along the way, in your profession, you start losing a hobby and gaining a job."

It’s true.

I’m just saying, that doesn’t, in my opinion… listen, I didn’t go to *beep* film school. I have no right to be here! The only reason I’m here is because I throw a shield around, and I’m sure that’s probably what you think but regardless I put it out there and went for it, and you know what?

I’m going to do it again and it’s not going to be because… You go back to the time in your life when you were a kid. When I was a kid I woke up on a Sunday and I put on plays with my brot 5b4 hers and sisters, and we made movies with my father’s video camera. Not for something. We did it because it was fun! It was what inspired us. It was raw and it was pure and it was beautiful. It wasn’t to make rent and it wasn’t to be congratulated. It wasn’t for validation. It was because it was it. And somewhere along the way, in your profession, you start losing a hobby and gaining a job.

I don’t want my hobby to become my job. I want it to stay pure and the way it stays pure is, it’s not for you. You can critique. I’m sure there’s some great… I’m not saying all critics. I’m sure there’s some great *beep* there! I’m sure there’s some great *beep* there.

And you know, I don’t [claim] to be right. I could be wrong. Maybe I’m wrong in not reading things but for me, for my journey to happiness, [it’s] about trying to keep things fueled by the right things. And for me it’s fueled by passion, and I think when you get a little too caught up in the opinions of other people, much like if I were a painter, I’m not going to paint a picture and let someone tell me, “You needed more purple.” *beep* off! I like it this color. I’m going to paint my next picture the same way I painted this one. I’m not going to say, “Well, everyone said I needed more purple. Maybe I’ll use more purple next time.” *beep* you! That’s not why I did this.

So listen, everyone has a different b68 opinion. I’ve probably torpedoed this interview.


I appreciate your honesty. I do take umbrage at one thing you said: you’re not just here because you threw a shield around. You’re a good actor.

That’s very kind of you. You don’t have to do that…

But it is true though.

Well, listen, plenty of good actors aren’t working. Trust me, I know dozens of guys who are waiting tables. And even if you are a good actor, the only reason I got this movie on its feet is because the way films are made now, I’m sure you know, with these independent films especially, the foreign pre-sale model, you need actors in your movie that will sell overseas. So without Marvel I could be the best actor on the *beep* planet, you know what I mean?

Think of some really good actor who’s… Paul Dano or something. I think he’d have a very hard time with someone letting him direct a movie. I think it would be much more of a challenge, and he’s *beep* brilliant! He’s brilliant! But that doesn’t mean he’s going to be able to direct something. It’s almost not fair that I got this opportunity. But given this Marvel thing that I fell into, I got the opportunity.

"I think that the habit of looking back is a slippery egoic slope, and this industry is ripe with people who want to give their two cents."

Who wouldn’t take it?

Exactly, and you know what? I’m going to keep on taking it as long as they keep giving it and I’m going to try and learn, try and take as much as I can, but I can’t let it become a job and it becomes a job when you start listening to too many… in my opinion, I think it becomes a job when you start…

Listen, if I were rational enough to be able to read those reviews and only take the advice they were giving without taking it personally, without letting it affect me on a deeper level? That would be great! I don’t think that’s possible. I don’t think anyone can do that on the planet, so in my opinion I think it’s just a safer thing to kind of keep this pure. Even if everybody hates it, they can hate it, but at the end of my life I’ll look back and say “I did the thing I did when I was ten,” instead of “I walked through every day of filming panicked about what this person [might] say or what that person was going to [say].” It’s not a hobby anymore! It’s a job!

And I’ve done that with acting, it’s happened with acting, and I don’t want to let that keep happening.

That’s a wise move.

Eh, we’ll see.

Speaking as someone who did accidentally let his hobby become his job, and then I started getting anxiety attacks over it…

Anxiety! You see? It’s not fun anymore.

"I could read ten reviews and even if there are ten great bits of information in t 5b4 here, the things I’m going to remember are the negative."

There’s still passion but it’s not as fun.

It’s not the same. It’s not the raw, pure thing and that’s the problem because that’s the thing, man. Sometimes you want to read those things because there are people who write reviews who are very educated. Sometimes I’ve… listen, when I was acting, like ten years ago I’d read things and go, “Oh *beep* that’s good advice, that’s good, that’s impressive” but again, if I were able enough to only read the good not listen to the bad…

Listen, I could read ten reviews and even if there are ten great bits of information in there, the things I’m going to remember are the negative. You remember. It’s human nature. I mean, all of a sudden it just becomes something else and acting is this one art form that you… Like I said […] painting I can do alone in my room. Songwriting I can do alone in my room. Dancing I can do alone in my room.

You do all those things?

[Laughs.] I do a few of those things! But to make films you need a lot. You need so many things and people and it’s very easy to let… you don’t want to change the person you are because of what you need to do your art. And reading too many things and too many opinions and thinking that adhering to those or accommodating other people’s opinions of you will get you [somewhere], it’s 5b4 a very slippery slope.

And yet at the same time I wonder, is there any sort of mentor? Are there people you look up to, whose advice you sought out…?

Oh sure!

Because that’s someone else’s opinion too…

Yeah, well they’re not giving their opinion as to how you should film. They’ve giving opinions like, you know, I’ll talk to Edgar Wright or the Russos, they’ll be like, “Listen, lean on the people around you. You’ve never directed before. Make sure you respect the fact that you are surrounded by department heads who know what they’re doing. Your production designer, your D.P., your prop master. Everyone around you knows what they’re doing very well. Don’t pretend to know everything. Be willing to look foolish. Ask questions and trust the people that know better.”

That’s a big step. But that’s different than finishing your product and having other people come in there and shoot holes through it. That’s the creative process that’s enjoyable. The aftermath… I know some actors that don’t even look back. I know some actors who finish a movie and don’t even watch it. It’s on to the next thing. I think that the habit of looking back is a slippery egoic slope, and this industry is ripe with people who want to give their two cents.

Re: Before We Go

Fantastic interview. He's passionate about his work but also very clear eyed and realistic about the advantages he's had and the way the industry works and what he wants to get out of it while still maintaining some of that passion.

Re: Before We Go

I like the honesty of this interview!
he is always honest, though sometimes he says stuff in a sarcastic way, it's clear he is joking and people tend to take all too literal, but in this one he is very straight forward and I like that he has decided not to read reviews, somewhere during his career he seemed to have noticed or taken the advice from those that do as he mentioned, not reading reviews, not looking back at the work and move on to the next one and it shows in his work in general, I do think eventually it all catches up, there is always people's opinions.

Alice Eve On What It's Like To Be Directed By Captain America In Chris Evans' New Film 'Before We Go'

Rachel Simon

When Alice Eve makes a movie, it typically doesn't involve running around the streets of New York City late at night, surrounded only by a crew of filmmakers and some curious onlookers. Yet Before We Go, the actress' new romantic drama, wasn't a typical movie — to start, it's directed by and stars none other than Captain America, Chris Evans. The actors spent just 19 days on the shoot, in a frenzy of quick cuts and "guerrilla filmmaking" — Eve's words, not mine — in order to turn the film Evans had dreamed into a reality.

"He definitely had the movie that he wanted to make in his head," Eve tells Bustle. "He knows what he wants. He knows where he wants to go... he had a very clear idea of that."

In the film, out Sept. 4, Eve plays Brooke, a woman who, after missing a train to Boston, ends up staying the night in New York alongside a friendly stranger, Nick (Evans). Together, they search for a way to get Eve back home, causing them to travel through the city and form a connection in the process. It's a sweet, low-key romance led by two charming, passion-filled lead performances.

"It was very much his [Evans'] view on love that the movie expresses," Eve says. "It’s what he believes love to be and his idea of romance."

Before We Go marks Evans' debut as a director, and one of several films that marks a big year for Eve; in addition to the romance, the actress, best known for her work in blockbusters like Star Trek and Men in Black 3, also has the comedy Dirty Weekend and is filming The Brits Are Coming, a heist film also starring Sofi 5b4 a Vergara.

Before We Go is a big change for both of its lead actors, and the newness showed; Eve says that at times, she and Evans disagreed over the plot, even butting heads about the film's ending (Eve says — spoiler alert! — that she didn't agree with Brooke and Nick parting ways and returning to their lives). Yet they managed to find a balance, and Eve says that Evans was an "open" director who was happy to take suggestions from his stars and cared deeply about making a quality final product that reflected his commitment.

"It was really interesting to go along with this man who had a deep passionate feeling for what love was for him and how he wanted to tell that story," she says. "I enjoyed it very much — I enjoyed going on the journey with him."

Re: Before We Go

great in 2000 terview with Steve from Collider

http://collider.com/chris-evans-before-we-go-interview/


-Is it true he became an actor/director to get better seats at Fenway Park and Patriots Place?
-Talks about how he’s never met Tom Brady and he really wants to.
-What was it about this material that said he had to make it? Talks about how he had to put himself in the movie to get it made and didn’t want to take on anything that was too ambitious.
-Looking back now, is there something he wishes someone had told him before filming began?
-Has he located the next project he wants to direct? It’s a studio gig

I've never watched the show before but supposedly all their interviews tend to be very short.

OUCH on his Winnie Cooper/Prom Dumper/Heart Breaker expanded story though the waking up on the neighbors lawn bit after -


Another interview done last week. This media roll out just like the post VOD (which also meant torrents) muted theatrical roll out by TWC makes zero sense.

Top Picks On DVD, Chris Evans’s directing debut


By Tom Russo Globe Correspondent October 31, 2015

If you think Chris Evans is a hero with a melancholy heart of gold as Captain America, you should see his directorial debut, “Before We Go” (2015). Evans’s intimate romantic drama bypassed area theaters, but not for lack of charm. The two-character story follows the chatty late-night odyssey shared by Nick (Evans) and Brooke (Alice Eve), strangers who find themselves at loose ends in New York, alternately ducking and confronting questions about love and heartbreak. They meet in Grand Central Station, where visiting jazz musician Nick is busking, and purse-theft victim Brooke is distraught after missing the last train home to Boston. (You’ll forgive the artistic license taken with Amtrak’s routing.)

Nick offers to help Brooke locate her purse, but what they’re really about to locate is buried feelings — the tender yearnings they bring out in each other, yes, but also feelings for the true loves who’ve hurt them. There’s an unmistakable sense that writer Ron Bass (“My Best Friend’s Wedding”) and his team are slipping us a less cerebral, more emotional rehash of “Before Sunrise.” But Evans and Eve’s easy, handsomely framed chemistry helps this one stand on its own. (It’s puzzling how Eve ever landed in that thankless “Star Trek” gratuitous skivvies flap, between her work here and in Neil LaBute’s similarly talkative “Some Velvet Morning.”)

The film also surprises us. Take a scene of manufactured conflict boosted by this gem from Eve: “The only thing that is stopping you from being the biggest loser in New York is [that] I haven’t left town yet.” Please, don’t go. (Anchor Bay, $22.98; Blu-ray, $26.99)

ON THE RISE: Alice Eve On The Makin 111c g of ‘Before We Go’ and ‘Lithgow Saint’

02 November 2015.


Over the past few years, Alice Eve’s hard work and dedication to her craft have established her as an actress on the rise in Hollywood. Best known for her roles in ‘Sex and the City 2’ (2010), ‘The Raven’ (2012), ‘Men in Black 3’ (2012) and ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ (2013), her career continues to gain steam with every new project she takes on. One of her latest endeavors, ‘Before We Go,’ pairs her with one of the hottest leading men in Hollywood, Chris Evans. The film focuses on a chance encounter between strangers sparks a life-changing nighttime adventure in New York City. Nick (Evans) is a musician who spends his nights performing in Grand Central Station. It is there he meets Brooke (Alice Eve), a young married woman who finds herself stranded after her purse is stolen and she misses the last train out of the city. Starting as convenient acquaintances, the two soon embark on a journey, growing closer as they confront past loves and present fears, and take control of their lives. A throwback to romance films of the past, the project as serves is the directorial debut of Chris Evans. Jason Price recently caught up with Alice Eve to discuss the making of ‘Before We Go,’ the challenges involved and her superb performance in the short film, ‘Lithgow Saint.’

One of your latest projects, the directorial debut of Chris Evans, is “Before We Go.” How did you get involved with the project and what made it one you knew you wanted to pursue?

Chris reached out to my agents and they got in contact with me. They said he was going to be directing a movie and the script had at one time been on the black list and they were big fans of the script. It is certainly a story that used to be made more often, one about a girl and a guy falling in love and the complications. We see less and less of these screenplays around. I had just come off of more of an action film and I really liked the idea of the intimacy, the exploration into character and the love story. I love to watch a love story! I spoke with Chris, we had a meeting, and I liked his ideas, so I went for it! What I loved about the script is that it was a classic love story. Some of my favorite books and films are about love and I find those are the ones that stay with you.

How did you approach bringing the character from script to screen?

In terms of building out the character, it was the same process that it always is for me, which is basically complete immersion and almost osmosis! You read it and you kind of wonder how this person would react to situations that you are in and then we built it together. We had long conversations and really discussed what love meant to each of these people in this movie. It was very different from what either of us thought love was personally. We built an infrastructure around what romance was in this universe and I really enjoyed that.

Chemistry is important in any film but especially in a romance story. How did you and Chris go about building that chemistry that plays so well on screen?

We filmed in New York, so we both went there before filming started. We went out to a couple of lunches and told each other a little about ourselves and shared our experiences and stories of love. We both made a genuine effort to connect and get inside each other’s heads a little bit.

I think it definitely paid off as the two of you are a great pairing.

Thank you!


Chris is not only the leading man in the film but the director as well. What challenges does that pose while on set?

For me, the biggest challenge was that we were on a night schedule and it was cold. I don’t feel there were that many challenges in terms of him doing both because he had come very prepared and knew what he wanted in terms of the technical side. I think that he had a very good dialog with his cinematographer, John Guleserian. To be honest, I felt very involved in the whole process. I was there and came up with a few ideas and never felt there was comprise for that.

You worked with plenty of talented people in your career. Having seen a lot along the way, what do you feel Chris Evans’ strengths ar b68 e as a director?

He is very, very confident, Chris Evans. That goes a long way. He is very sure of what he wants, so in terms of running a set, that is incredibly important. Also, he is capable of juggling a few things at the same time. He can have a few balls in the air, which is important, certainly, if you want to act in the film as well. Hopefully, he will get another chance.

You mentioned shooting in New York, a larger than life town that adds ambience to any film. What did the city bring to the film?

New York is one of the most magical places in the world, isn’t it? You always like it more than you think you will, if that makes sense, Jason. You like it more each time you go back. That is certainly the case for me. Every time I go there, I think, “My god, this place is incredible!” Just the fact that we were able to have it as a backdrop of the movie was a big part of the appeal. New York City has a lot to offer.

It is great to see a love story like this one on screen again. As you said, stories like these are becoming more of a rarity. In terms of romance, what speaks to you the most these days?

Being proposed to is very romantic. When someone is saying, “OK, let’s go for this for a long time.” That is an amazing moment. And you know, anytime anyone buys you flowers it is always a nice thing!

You know what, Alice? You are absolutely right. I am definitely going to buy my girlfriend some flowers today!

Yeah! Buy her some flowers! That would be lovely. I really hope you do!

I definitely will!

That would be lovely! I love it!

Back to the movie for a moment! [laughs] What is the best lesson you took away from this project?

Don’t do night shoots in the freezing cold again! [laughs] Just don’t do it! In creative terms, this character is very, very different for me. I really enjoyed playing her. I enjoyed learning how committed she was to her marriage and the feeling that is inside, which I accessed through her. She has a deep commitment which was beautiful.

Thanks picap for bringing this over. I would love to have a conversation like that with him and get inside his head.

Re: Before We Go

Tell me if the “Conversation With CE”is any good. I own the movie on iTunes already so I don’t need the DVD. I’ll probably buy it anyway, but I want to know what I am in for.

THANK YOU!!!! I must say, I was hoping for commentary or something special...kind of disappointed. BUT, yes, i’ll probably buy it because I LOVE CE that much.

But, seriously, THANK YOU!

Re: Before We Go

You bought it 2 blu-rays (should check with Amazon about that and tell them they did an oops) and a DVD, they should be knocking on your door to personally thank y b68 ou.

Thank you! I really had hoped for a director's commentary. Pity.

Re: Before We Go

Always wise to have that extra copy in the storage room. The one under glass, the one you only use white gloves to handle it, the one that you would run back in the house for if it were burning. 😁

Re: Before We Go

Considering it came out on itunes 9 months after Predestination, second place is not too shabby.

Chris Evans' 'Before We Go,' Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan's film version of the cult-favorite musical 'The Last 5 Years' and Charlize Theron's 'Dark Places' were all popular picks from Apple's digital store this year.

Casual moviegoers likely don't remember Ethan Hawke's Predestination. The sci-fi thriller hit theaters on Jan. 9 and only made $68,372 at the domestic box office.

But the movie, which was also released on iTunes the same day it arrived on the big screen, was a hit on Apple's digital download store. The movie tops iTunes' list of 2015's most downloaded day-and-date movies (films released on iTunes the same day they hit theaters), which The Hollywood Re 2000 porter is debuting exclusively.

Beyond Predestination, the top 10 most downloaded day-and-date titles are star-studded fare. Chris Evans' directorial debut Before We Go, in which he co-starred with Alice Eve, is the second most downloaded title of the year. The film, from Radius-TWC, was released on Sept. 4 and grossed $37,151 at the domestic box office. Samuel L. Jackson's Big Game, a June release from EuropaCorp that made $24,572 at the domestic box office, finished third.

Two starry romantic films round out the top 5: Hugh Grant's The Rewrite, which was an iTunes exclusive for a week, and Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan's movie version of the cult-favorite musical The Last 5 Years finished in fourth and fifth place, respectively.

Two more rom-coms made it onto iTunes' list. Another Chris Evans film — Playing It Cool, co-starring Michelle Monaghan — and Lily Collins and Sam Claflin's Love, Rosie, which earned more than $4 million at the overseas box office.

Films from Kurt Russell, Adam Sandler and Charlize Theron (the movie version of Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn's Dark Places) also landed in iTunes' top 10.

The full list, which differs significantly from 2015's top 10 most downloaded movies overall [Ed: AOU is on that list] and top 10 most downloaded indies, follows.

Top 10 Most Downloaded Day-and-Date Movies of 2015

1. Predestination
2. Before We Go
3. Big Game
4. The Rewrite
5. The Last Five Years
6. Bone Tomahawk
7. The Cobbler
8. Playing It Cool
9. Love, Rosie
10. Dark Places
