“Unbreak My Heart” Breaks Records

 

Lifetime has done it again, this time with the success of Toni Braxton’s biopic, “Unbreak My Heart.” The movie, which starred Hollywood newcomer Lex Scott Davis as Braxton, drew in a total of 3.6 million viewers. It is the networks most watched original movie in viewers since Whitney Houston’s biopic “Whitney” that came out January of 2015. It also was the highest rated cable original movie in adults 25-54, women 25-54, and women 18-49.

“Unbreak My Heart” followed many aspects of the songstress’s life through her divorce, financial problems, rise to fame, her battle with lupus, and taking care of her family. Toni Braxton served as the executive producer on the film, with help from producer Kenneth “Babyface” Edwards. When does this duo not make magic together?

            The premiere also broke records on twitter, with celebrities and fans alike tweeting about the movie. “Unbreak My Heart” and Toni Braxton were both trending on twitter. Despite some off lip-syncing, the movie was a success. We’re just happy it didn’t end up a laughingstock like the Aaliyah biopic.
