Colleen Hoover’s Regretting You has quietly become one of the biggest surprise hits of the season. Released on October 24, 2025, the romantic drama has been comfortably occupying the top two spots on the US daily charts for almost two weeks, maintaining its position even as new films emerge and fall.

The movie, adapted from Hoover’s bestselling novel, didn’t make a huge splash on its opening weekend, but word of mouth quickly turned things around. By Halloween weekend, it had earned an impressive $7.8 million, and the momentum hasn’t slowed much since. The following weekend brought in another $6.6 million, only a small 14.9% dip despite playing in fewer theatres. For a romance film, that kind of consistency is rare, and it shows that Regretting You has truly struck a chord with audiences.

The film stars Mason Thames, who’s already having a big year after his roles in Black Phone 2 and How to Train Your Dragon. Thanks to his rising popularity and the movie’s emotional storytelling, Regretting You has now reached $71.5 million worldwide, with $40.1 million coming from the US and $31.4 million from international markets, according to Box Office Mojo.

Daily earnings continue to stay strong, with nearly $1 million made on Monday and about $1.1 million on Tuesday, a 44% increase from the previous day. If the trend continues, the film is well on its way to crossing the $100 million milestone soon.

The latest big headline is that Regretting You has now outperformed The Monkeythe 2025 horror-comedy based on a Stephen King story. The Monkey earned $68.8 million globally, while Hoover’s adaptation has already passed that, both domestically and worldwide.

Box Office Comparison:
The Monkey – $39.7 million domestic, $29.1 million international, $68.8 million total.
Regretting You – $40.1 million domestic, $31.4 million international, $71.5 million total.

With its emotional story, strong performances, and loyal fanbase, Regretting You is proving that heartfelt dramas can still dominate the box office, even in a season packed with action and horror hits.
