Will Gluck's 'One Night Only' Hits US Theaters August 7, UK August 28

Director Will Gluck’s new romantic comedy *One Night Only* opens in the United States on August 7 and in the United Kingdom on August 28. The film stars Callum Turner as Owen, a pizzeria owner, and Monica Barbaro as Allie, an aspiring singer, and follows their attempts to find a partner during a single 12‑hour window each year when a law permits unmarried people to have sex. The premise builds on a fictional ban on premarital sex that forces New Yorkers to protest and navigate comedic obstacles, such as finding condoms.

Gluck, who previously delivered the box‑office hit *Anyone But You* (over $220 million worldwide) and earlier successes like *Easy A* and *Friends With Benefits*, says theatrical rom‑coms are still viable. He argues that while rom‑coms now proliferate on streaming platforms, audiences still value the shared experience of watching a film in a theater.
