- Will Gluck directed 'One Night Only,' a Universal Pictures romantic comedy now in theaters about two New Yorkers that carries dystopian undertones audiences have flagged online.
- Gluck addressed the viral 'Sex Purge' comparisons between his rom-com and The Purge franchise, conceding the parallel while framing the film as a romantic comedy.
Why it matters: When an audience meme outruns a rom-com's marketing, the director's response shapes whether the nickname becomes the film's legacy — and Gluck's acknowledgment means 'Sex Purge' is now embedded in 'One Night Only''s public identity regardless of how he frames it.
