Ariana Grande Agrees to Limited Press for Focker-in-Law Despite Plans to Step Back

The choice makes a narrow promotional exception so she can support a high-profile comedy set for a Thanksgiving weekend release.

Overview

  • Grande completed her Eternal Sunshine Tour on Sept. 1, closing with 10 shows at London’s O2 Arena after a run that Billboard Boxscore reported grossed $107.9 million.
  • Billboard confirmed she will take part in fall press for Focker-in-Law even though she announced in August that she would be “taking a step back from visibility.”
  • The family comedy is scheduled to open in theaters on Nov. 25 and the studio has planned a promotional run in the fall ahead of that Thanksgiving weekend release.
  • Reporting from TMZ says the press appearances will be limited compared with past touring duties and that Grande will continue brand work such as R.E.M. Beauty during the fall.
  • Grande’s decision follows her withdrawal from a West End stage role and leaves her calendar largely open after November, creating space for a multi-month break while allowing one targeted film campaign.
