Colleen Hoover<\/a> is once again proving her box office prowess.<\/p>\n

Universal<\/a>\u2019s romantic drama \u201cReminders of Him<\/a>,\u201d the author\u2019s latest best-seller to land on the big screen, impressed with $18.2 million from 3,402 North American theaters in its debut. Those ticket sales are notably above pre-release expectations of $10 million to $12 million. The film earned $10 million from 56 overseas territories for a global tally of $28.2 million, a solid start against its $25 million budget.<\/p>\n

This extends Hoover\u2019s winning streak after 2024\u2019s \u201cIt Ends With Us<\/a>\u201d and 2025\u2019s \u201cRegretting You<\/a>,\u201d underscoring the demand for female-focused stories. (Women represented 80% of opening weekend crowds for \u201cReminders of Him.\u201d) Her next adaptation \u201cVerity<\/a>,\u201d starring Dakota Johnson<\/a> and Anne Hathaway<\/a>, is set for October from Amazon MGM<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHollywood isn\u2019t producing enough adult romance dramas,\u201d said analyst Jeff Bock<\/a> of Exhibitor Relations. \u201cThe audience is there, but the content isn\u2019t. Colleen Hoover\u2019s adaptations are filling that space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Colleen Hoover is once again proving her box office prowess.
