Colleen Hoover’s Controversial $90M Hit Is Blowing Up Streaming in America
Right now at the box office, Colleen Hoover’s latest adaptation, Reminders of Him, is continuing to perform admirably against tough competition, such as the hit new sci-fi flick Project Hail Mary. Against a reported budget of $25 million, the film has earned just under $60 million worldwide, split between $38 million in domestic revenue and an additional $21 million from overseas markets. Starring Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers, and directed by Vanessa Caswill, the film is unlikely to reach the box office heights of Hoover’s previous two adaptations, one of which is quietly proving popular on streaming.
Regretting You, Hoover’s second adaptation, released in October 2025, earned a global haul of $90 million during its theatrical run, a total unlikely to be hit by Reminders of Him. Tripling its reported budget of $30 million, the film starred an eye-catching cast and became a hit with fans of the Hoover novels. From a script penned by Susan McMartin, the film stars the likes of Allison Williams as Morgan Grant, Mckenna Grace as Clara Grant, Dave Franco as Jonah Sullivan, Mason Thames as Miller Adams, Scott Eastwood as Chris Grant, Willa Fitzgerald as Jenny Davidson, and Clancy Brown as Hank Adams Sr.
Although fans appreciated the effort, critics weren’t so glowing in their reception of Regretting You. In Isabella Soares‘ review of the movie for Collider, she called Regretting You “messy,” adding, “Although the cast does what they can with a script that never cuts deeper than the surface, their performances aren’t enough to give Regretting You the emotional resonance expected from a story like this.” Despite this poor response from critics, Regretting You continues to prove popular, scoring a place on the current Paramount+ top ten in the U.S.

Another Colleen Hoover Adaptation Is On Its Way Soon
With the three adaptations all proving box office successes so far, and with Hoover’s books continuing to sell millions of copies, we are merely in the early stages of her impact on Hollywood. Up next is Verity, an adaptation of Hoover’s 2018 psychological thriller of the same name, which features the on-screen talents of Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, Josh Hartnett, Ismael Cruz Cordóva, and Brady Wagner. Written by Nick Antosca and directed by Michael Showalter, with the latter previously working with Hathaway on Prime Video’s The Idea of You, the movie is scheduled to release on October 2, 2026.
Regretting You is streaming on Paramount+. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.
