Colleen Hoover’s Latest Movie Flops at the Box Office Fails to Match ‘It Ends with Us’ Success
Colleen Hoover’s latest movie, “Regretting You,” faces significant challenges at the box office. Despite the director, Josh Boone, previously finding success with “The Fault in Our Stars,” this new film has not resonated with audiences or critics. While it struggles to capture the attention received by last year’s “It Ends with Us,” which earned over $350 million globally, “Regretting You” is experiencing a stark contrast in reception.
Box Office Performance
Opening to disappointing figures, “Regretting You” grossed around $5 million on its first day. Predictions for the weekend suggest it will earn between $10 million and $12 million, vying for second place against films like “Black Phone 2” and “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere.” In comparison, the top spot is occupied by “Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc,” a new anime import.
Critics’ Reception
Critically, “Regretting You” has not fared well. Holding a mere 30% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it has received negative reviews. Collider’s Isabella Soares remarked that, although the cast attempted to elevate the material, the script lacked depth, resulting in missed emotional connections.

Market Trends in Romance Films
More recently, the romance genre has largely shifted to streaming platforms, although select films still find theatrical releases. “Materialists,” featuring Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal, has emerged as a successful example, grossing over $100 million worldwide. This indicates there remains interest in romantic films, even as “Regretting You” struggles.
For now, audiences can catch “Regretting You” in theaters. Further updates on its performance and reception will be available on Emegypt.
