Colleen Hoover's 'Reminders of Him' Shines at the Box Office: A Romantic Drama to Watch!
Box Office Success of 'Reminders of Him'
Colleen Hoover's recent film adaptation, "Reminders of Him," has been enchanting viewers in theaters across the U.S. for almost a month. The romantic drama made a strong debut, earning $18 million from 3,402 locations. In its fifth weekend, from April 10 to 12, the film added another $1 million to its total, despite a significant 54.6% drop from the previous weekend. This decline came as the film faced competition from two new romantic releases, "The Drama" and "You, Me & Tuscany," and was screened in 954 fewer theaters. Currently, the film's domestic earnings have reached $47.5 million, raising speculation about its ability to surpass the $50 million milestone.
On the international front, "Reminders of Him" has also performed admirably, accumulating $36.7 million from foreign markets. This brings the film's total global earnings to an impressive $84.2 million. As reported by Box Office Mojo, this success positions the Vanessa Caswill-directed film among the top 15 highest-grossing films of 2026 thus far, and it stands as the second-highest-grossing romantic film of the year, only behind "Wuthering Heights."
With a production budget estimated at $25 million, the film needed to earn around $62.5 million to break even, adhering to the industry-standard 2.5x multiplier rule. Given its current worldwide earnings, "Reminders of Him" has already produced an estimated theatrical surplus of $21.7 million. As the film continues its theatrical run, it will be intriguing to see if this surplus can surpass $25 million.
The storyline centers around Kenna Rowan, played by Maika Monroe, who returns to her hometown after spending seven years in prison due to a tragic accident that led to her boyfriend's death. Kenna aims to rebuild her life and reconnect with her daughter, whom she hardly knows. However, she encounters significant resistance from the community, which is reluctant to forgive her past. Amid this conflict, she unexpectedly bonds with Ledger Ward, portrayed by Tyriq Withers, a former NFL player and local bar owner, who provides her with a glimmer of hope for redemption.
As "Reminders of Him" continues to attract audiences, it remains a key topic in conversations about box office performance and the changing landscape of romantic dramas. The film's box office journey will be closely observed as it strives to secure its position among the year's top earners.
