Box-Office Breakdown
Variety's pre-release tracking projects a $30–35 million domestic debut for “Verity” across 3,510 theatres. If the film lands at the top of that range, it would give Hathaway her third No. 1 opening of 2026 — after “The Devil Wears Prada 2” ($77 million opening) and “The Odyssey” ($123.5 million opening). All figures are reported projections, not confirmed results.
The projected debut would also rank as the second-biggest opening among Colleen Hoover adaptations, behind “It Ends with Us,” which opened to $50 million in 2024, per reports.
Going up against it this weekend is Tom Cruise's “Digger,” an R-rated environmental satire from Alejandro González Iñárritu and Warner Bros.' final release as a standalone studio. Tracking for “Digger” points to only $12–15 million amid mixed reviews, per Variety via reports.
Reviews for “Verity” itself are mixed on Rotten Tomatoes, with Hathaway the one thing critics agree on, per comicbasics.
