The film follows the story of Maddie, played by Lohan, who attends her best friend's wedding only to discover that her friend is engaged to the man Maddie secretly loves. When Maddie makes a wish for a different reality, her life takes an unexpected turn as her fantasies materialize before her eyes.
Irish Wish boasts a talented cast including Elizabeth Tan, Ayesha Curry, Alexander Vlahos, and Ed Speleers, alongside Lohan.

Topping the charts that week was the Millie Bobby Brown adventure film Damsel, which amassed 50.8 million views.
Lohan, known for her breakout roles in films like The Parent Trap and Mean Girls, experienced a career resurgence with her recent projects.
