Last Christmas ending CHANGED because viewers 'didn't connect' to Henry Golding's Tom

“Well, originally that was the ending that came right after the concert, so the concert ended and then we were kind of four, six months later here and she is doing this thing carrying on the lesson she learned from Tom,” Feig said.

“But what we found from our test audiences was that they didn’t connect with it, because I don’t really think they felt the connection enough to Tom from that.

“And so there was a lot of discontent about, well why’s she a tour guide?” the director explained.

He went on to say he was “very slavish” about test audiences and trying to make sure what fans hope for and want from the story is delivered in the finished film.
