All My Life Box Office Numbers
With a production budget of some $25 million and a worldwide box office 0.1 times the production budget, All My Life took $913,935 domestically and grossed $1,101,537 overseas at the box office.

It’s a Wrap
With its $25 million production budget and meager worldwide box office return of $2,015,472, All My Life was a major flop for Universal.
Having taken 40% of its gross opening weekend, the film fell 42% to $215,000 sophomore weekend.
In the miserable months of the pandemic, a movie about a terminal bridegroom was never going to lift the spirits of theatergoers.
The film met with mixed reviews with a less than impressive 56% on the tomatometer. The consensus among critics is that despite some real chemistry between the leads, All My Life is undermined by its aggressive reliance on overbearing sentimentality.
All My Life was quick to SVOD and was the eighth-most rented movie on FandangoNow.
