Robbie Williams Officiated An Impromptu Wedding At His NYC Biopic Screening

Once again, we Americans have proven ourselves wholly immune to the charms of big-deal UK pop star Robbie Williams, whether or not he takes the form of a CGI monkey. A quarter century ago, Williams noisily launched his solo career, and the United States gave it a big shrug. Now, the new biopic Better Man, which tells Williams' story through the eyes of a CGI monkey, is a resounding flop in the US. As Variety reports, Better Man, director Michael Gracey's follow-up to the blockbuster musical The Greatest Showman, opened wide last weekend and barely earned $1 million. The magazine's tweet about the film's paltry box office went viral, with tons of people saying some version of "we don't know who that is."

I was among the millions of Americans who didn't see Better Man this weekend. I'll get around to it eventually. He seems like a good guy.
