Following a global IMAX milestone for Anne Hathaway‘s The Odyssey and the ongoing theatrical run of her thriller The End of Oak Street, early projections for her next movie are generating headlines. Verity, a Colleen Hoover adaptation, is scheduled to arrive in theaters next month, prompting the question of whether it can secure one of the top opening weekends among Hathaway’s 2026 releases. The Odyssey maintains the #1 spot with a debut exceeding $100 million. Additional details follow below.
The psychological erotic thriller is directed by Michael Showalter and adapted from Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel of the same name. To date, the most successful screen adaptation of a Hoover book is 2024’s It Ends With Us, starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Backed by a stellar cast featuring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett, the upcoming picture possesses the potential to challenge that benchmark.
How much is it tracking to earn on its opening weekend in North America?
For those unaware, this marks the fourth Colleen Hoover adaptation, following It Ends With Us, Regretting You, and Reminders of Him. Early tracking from Box Office Pro estimates that Verity will pull in between $30 million and $40 million during its domestic opening weekend. That puts it below the $50 million debut of It Ends With Us, but ahead of both Regretting You ($13.6 million) and Reminders of Him ($17.8 million).
