“‘Reminders of Him’ Tops Friday Box Office, Earning $8 Million”
Universal’s emotional romantic drama, “Reminders of Him,” led the box office on Friday, garnering $8 million. This film, which is an adaptation of a Colleen Hoover novel, was showcased across 3,402 theaters in North America. By the weekend’s end, projections suggest a domestic gross of $19 million.
Details of “Reminders of Him”
Directed by Vanessa Caswill, “Reminders of Him” stars Maika Monroe as Kenna, a mother striving to reconnect with her daughter following her time in prison. The cast features notable names including:
- Bradley Whitford
- Tyriq Withers
- Lauren Graham
- Jennifer Robertson
- Rudy Pankow
Colleen Hoover aims to enhance her successful cinematic presence following the massive success of her previous adaptations. For instance, the film “It Ends With Us,” released in 2024, achieved a remarkable $351 million worldwide. Additionally, “Regretting You,” adapted by Paramount in 2025, earned $90 million globally on a $30 million budget.
Other Box Office Contenders
In the second position, Disney and Pixar’s adventure film “Hoppers” earned $7.1 million on the same day. It is anticipated to accumulate around $30 million domestically by Sunday, with an expected North American total reaching $86 million. This represents a 34% decline from its previous week’s earnings.
“Hoppers” marks a significant resurgence for Pixar, achieving the best opening weekend for an original title since 2017’s “Coco,” following years of disappointing releases such as “Onward” and the upcoming “Elio.”
Other Notable Releases
A24’s new indie horror movie, “Undertone,” secured the third spot on Friday, making $4.3 million from 2,570 theaters. Projections indicate it may make around $10 million by Sunday. Directed by Ian Tuason, the film stars Nina Kiri as a paranormal podcaster haunted by ghostly sounds.
In fourth place, “Scream 7” collected $2.6 million, expecting to hit $8.4 million over the weekend, bringing its total North American revenue to $106 million. Rounding out the top five, the family film “GOAT” earned $1.2 million and is on track for a $4.7 million weekend, with a total of $90.5 million.
