The allure of romance at the movies was once again confirmed on Friday as audiences flocked to see the latest hit, “Reminders of Him,” based on a novel by popular author Colleen Hoover. This cinematic adaptation claimed the top spot at the box office, bringing in an impressive $8 million on its opening night, as reported by Box Office Mojo.
“Reminders of Him” marks Hoover’s third book to be transformed for the big screen, following the releases of “It Ends With Us” in 2024 and “Regretting You” in 2025. The film centers on the compelling journey of Kenna, portrayed by Maika Monroe, a mother striving to piece her life back together after her release from prison.
The movie’s success is also buoyed by a strong ensemble cast, featuring talents such as Bradley Whitford, Lauren Graham, Tyriq Withers, Jennifer Robertson, and Rudy Pankow. Their performances contribute to the gripping narrative that has resonated with viewers, underscoring the timeless appeal of a heartfelt romantic drama.

Coming in second was “Hoppers” with $7.1 million.
The Post previously praised the animated sci-fi comedy, stating: “What separates ‘Hoppers’ from the pack of recent Pix flix, which have been wholesome as a church bake sale, is its comic irreverence.”
The movie’s success marked the end of a years-long losing streak for Pixar. The last opening weekend that scored big for the company was 2017’s “Coco.”
“Undertone,” meanwhile, nabbed the third spot, grossing $4.3 million. The A24 indie film features Nina Kiri, Adam DiMarco, Michèle Duquet, Keana Lyn Bastidas, Jeff Yung and Ryan Turner.
Kiri stars as a paranormal podcaster who becomes haunted by recordings of ghosts.
Another horror favorite, “Scream,” came in fourth, raking in $2.6 million.
The slasher flick, which opened on Feb. 27, had the highest domestic debut in the franchise’s history with $63.6 million.
Rounding out the top five was Caleb McLaughlin and Stephen Curry’s animated sports comedy “GOAT” with $1.2 million.
