Colleen Hoover has another streaming winner with her 2026 blockbuster adaptation

October begins with an exciting pair of theatrical debuts. On October 2, Tom Cruise teams up with director Alejandro G. Iñárritu in his first original action movie in eight years, with the recent trailer showcasing that this is not to be missed. The movie also marks Iñárritu's first English-language feature since his 2015 hit The Revenant, which earned Leonardo DiCaprio his long-awaited Oscar for Best Actor. Could Digger win Cruise the same prize?

But if Digger isn't your cup of tea, then October 2 also marks the release date for the next in a recent flurry of Colleen Hoover adaptations. Set to star the hugely talented Anne Hathaway—who can currently be spotted in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey— Verity takes the usual melodramatic romance stories of Hoover and sends them down a darkly psychological path, making for the most intriguing adaptation yet. Reuniting Hathaway with Michael Showalter, who previously directed her in Prime Video’sThe Idea of You, the film also stars the likes of Dakota Johnson, Josh Hartnett, Ismael Cruz Cordóva, and Brady Wagner.

As fans get in the mood for Verity, they've sent another Hoover adaptation flying up the streaming charts. At the time of writing, Regretting You is one of the ten most-streamed movies on Netflix in the world, a list topped by the true crime title Shipwrecked: Nightmare at Sea. The second feature Hoover adaptation after the controversial It Ends With Us that sparked Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's legal battle, Regretting You might not have earned critical acclaim, being dubbed "messy" in Isabella Soares' review for Collider, but it was at least a hit with fans. Directed by Josh Boone, the film stars Allison Williams, Mckenna Grace, Dave Franco, Mason Thames, Scott Eastwood, Willa Fitzgerald, and Clancy Brown.

How Much Did 'Regretting You' Make at the Box Office?

Propelled forward by the high-profile controversy, It Ends With Us was an enormous box office hit, reaching heights the follow-up was never going to match. But was Regretting You at least successful? The simple answer is yes, with the film scoring a $90 million haul against a reported budget of $30 million, a similar total to 2026's third Hoover adaptation, Reminders of Him, starring Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers.

Regretting You is streaming now. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.
