Colleen Hoover’s All-Time Hit Adaptation Is Finding New Life As A Streaming Sensation

Colleen Hoover adaptations have been successful in theaters and on streaming, and another one of the movies based on her novels has just become a streaming hit internationally. Hoover’s list of novels is filled with major releases, with multiple adaptations of her work for the big screen becoming hits in the 2020s. The first movie based on a book written by Hoover was It Ends with Us. While the film might have become controversial due to the behind-the-scenes battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, it went on to gross a whopping $351.4 million by the end of its run.

After that, Regretting You became a movie in 2025, bringing together a solid cast that featured names like Mckenna Grace, Mason Thames, Dave Franco, Allison Williams, Scott Eastwood, Willa Fitzgerald, and more. In 2026, the R-rated psychological thriller Verity gave Hoover adaptations another massive hit, starring Dakota Johnson, Anne Hathaway, and Josh Hartnett. That said, between the release of Regretting You and Verity, there was another Hoover adaptation in theaters, Reminders of Him, and the emotional romantic movie has now found second life as a streaming hit in several countries months after its March 13 theatrical release in the United States.

Hoover’s Reminders Of Him Is One Of HBO Max’s Biggest Hits

At the time of writing, Reminders of Him is the 3rd most popular movie on HBO Max’s Top 10 Movies list worldwide, according to data from FlixPatrol. The romance is not available to stream on HBO Max in the United States, where it can be found on Peacock, as per JustWatch. Reminders of Him is only surpassed on HBO Max’s global charts by the first entry in one of the biggest movie franchises of all time, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, and the Swedish horror movie Feed, which is the surprise movie on HBO Max’s global charts right now.

Reminders of Him is trending on HBO Max in 19 countries, according to FlixPatrol. The Colleen Hoover adaptation is the streamer’s movie — its highest position on HBO Max’s individual charts — in countries like Argentina, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, and many more right now. Worldwide, the 2026 romance starring Maika Monroe, Tyriq Withers, Rudy Pankow, and others has left behind movies like the horror Evil Dead Burn, the dystopian sci-fi franchise entries The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes and The Hunger Games, and other high-profile releases on HBO Max’s charts. Reminders of Him grossed $89.3 million.

Reminders of Him was not the only Hoover adaptation released in theaters in 2026, with Hathaway’s Verity currently playing on the big screen after its release on October 2. A month later, the R-rated psychological thriller has amassed $172.4 million worldwide. Aside from its box office hit status, Verity has also become an instant sensation on digital, climbing VOD charts in the US after its October 27 release on the format.

Based on those results, Verity is expected to be another Hoover novel adaptation to become a streaming hit. Verity should take one and a half months to three months to arrive on Prime Video, based on other Amazon MGM Studios films, so a late November to January streaming release is possible, following Reminders of Him‘s global streaming success.
