Some of the biggest off-screen movie news this month arrived on May 4, as it was announced that Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni‘s legal battle, following their collaboration on It Ends With Us and Lively’s accusation of sexual harassment, had come to an end via a confidential settlement. As the dust settles on the controversy, and fans allow themselves a moment to share their opinion on social media, the time has come to move on and look forward to more adaptations from Colleen Hoover’s catalog.
Since It Ends With Us earned $350 million at the global box office, two more Hoover adaptations have been released. Despite being somewhat overshadowed by its predecessor’s headlines, both films have performed well at the box office, although they fell short of It Ends With Us‘ high heights. Most recently, Reminders of Him, starring Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers, and directed by Vanessa Caswill, took home $88 million against a production budget of $25 million, despite facing competition from the likes of Scream 7, Wuthering Heights, and the huge sci-fi hit Project Hail Mary.
Last year, the second feature Hoover adaptation, Regretting You, capitalized on the financial success of It Ends With Us by scoring a $90 million haul against a reported budget of $30 million. Starring the likes of Allison Williams, Mckenna Grace, Dave Franco, Mason Thames, Scott Eastwood, Willa Fitzgerald, and Clancy Brown, the film earned a poor reception from critics, dubbed “messy” in Isabella Soares‘ review for Collider, but impressed fans enough to earn an 84% audience score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Seven months later, Regretting You is still impressing fans and has landed as the most-watched movie on Prime Video in the U.S., at the time of writing.

Collider Exclusive · TV Medicine Quiz Which Fictional Hospital Would You Work Best In? The Pitt · ER · Grey’s Anatomy · House · Scrubs
Five hospitals. Five completely different ways medicine goes sideways on television — brutal, chaotic, romantic, brilliant, and ridiculous. Only one of them is the ward your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out exactly where you belong.

01
A critical patient comes through the door. What’s your first instinct? Medicine under pressure reveals who you actually are.
Advertisement
02
Why did you go into medicine in the first place? The honest answer says more about you than the one you’d give in an interview.
Advertisement
03
What do you actually want from the people you work with? Who you want beside you under pressure is who you are.
Advertisement
04
You lose a patient you fought hard to save. How do you carry it? Every doctor who’s worked a long shift has had to answer this question.
Advertisement
05
How would your colleagues describe the way you work? Your reputation on the floor is usually more accurate than your self-image.

06
How do you feel about hospital protocol and procedure? Every institution has rules. What you do with them is a choice.

07
What does this job cost you personally? Nobody works in medicine without paying a price. What’s yours?

08
At the end of a long shift, what keeps you coming back? The answer to this question is the most honest thing about you.

Your Assignment Has Been Made You Belong In…
Your answers have pointed to one fictional hospital above all others. This is the ward your instincts, your temperament, and your particular brand of dysfunction were built for.

Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center
The Pitt
You are built for the most unsparing version of emergency medicine television has ever shown — one that puts you inside a single fifteen-hour shift and doesn’t let you look away.
Advertisement
You need your work to be real, not romanticised — meaning over drama, honesty over aesthetics.
You find purpose inside the work itself, not in the chaos surrounding it.
You’ve made peace with the fact that this job takes from you constantly, and gives back in ways that are harder to name.
Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center demands exactly that kind of person — and you would not want to be anywhere else.
County General Hospital, Chicago
ER
You are the person who keeps the whole floor running — not the most brilliant in the room, but possibly the most essential.
Advertisement
You show up, do the work, absorb the losses, and come back the next day without needing the job to be anything other than what it is.
You care about patients as individual human beings, not as cases to solve or dramas to live through.
You believe in the system even when it fails you — and you understand that emergency medicine is about holding the line just long enough.
ER is television about endurance. You have it.
Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, Seattle
Grey’s Anatomy
You came to medicine with your whole self — your ambition, your emotions, your relationships, your history — and you have never quite managed to leave any of it at the door.
Advertisement
You feel things fully and form deep attachments to the people you work with.
Your personal and professional lives are permanently, chaotically entangled — and that entanglement drives both your greatest disasters and your most remarkable saves.
You understand that extraordinary medicine often happens at the intersection of clinical skill and profound human connection.
It’s messy at Grey Sloan. You would not have it any other way.
Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, NJ
House
You are drawn to the problem above everything else — the symptom that doesn’t fit, the diagnosis hiding underneath the obvious one.
Advertisement
You’re not primarily motivated by the patient as a person — though you are capable of caring, even if you’d deny it.
You work best when the stakes are highest and the standard answer is wrong.
Princeton-Plainsboro exists to house one extraordinary, impossible mind — and everyone around that mind is there because they’re smart enough to keep up.
The only way forward here is to think harder than everyone else in the room. That is exactly what you do.
Sacred Heart Hospital, California
Scrubs
You understand that medicine is tragic and absurd in almost equal measure — and that the only sane response is to hold both of those things at the same time.
Advertisement
You are warm, self-aware, and funnier than most people in your field.
You use humour to get through terrible moments — and at Sacred Heart, that’s not a flaw, it’s a survival strategy.
You lean on the people around you and let them lean back. The laughter and the grief are genuinely inseparable here.
Scrubs is a show about learning to become someone worthy of the job. You are still very much in the middle of that process — which is exactly right.
