Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick undoubtedly shared electrifying chemistry in A Simple Favor and its 2025 sequel, Another Simple Favor. Fans who missed her on-screen magic can now enjoy one of her standout performances. The 2017 comedy Table 19 will arrive on HBO Max on December 1, 2025, according to Warner Bros. Discovery.
Table 19 tells the story of a former maid of honor relegated to the misfit table at a wedding reception. With a never-ending big cast list of names like Craig Robinson, June Squibb, Lisa Kudrow, Stephen Merchant, Tony Revolori, and Wyatt Russell, how well does Anna Kendrick do?

Anna Kendrick’s deeply vulnerable performance as maid-of-honor Eloise McGarry is a standout performance, despite the mixed bag reception the film received upon release. That’s not going to stop Kendrick fans from spamming the film once it hits HBO Max, as Anna Kendrick’s 2010s reign was almost unmatched by other young adults. Here are key details about the film.

Kendirck’s signature neuroticism acting works well in her favor, once again being portrayed as a misfit. The Pitch Perfect star always manages to blend her quirky sarcasm with depth when needed, complementing her co-stars’ performances along the way.
