Colleen Hoover can expect a nice brunch this morning for the feature film shoot of her novel starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett, Truth, bowed to $62.5 million worldwide, the author’s second best start at the global box office behind that of 2024 It ends with us on a like-for-like basis, i.e. $95.6 million WW.

Meanwhile, Alejandro Inarritu’s political satire that cost Tom Cruise $160 million net, Excavator, was buried with a A world first at 20 million dollars ($12 million overseas, $8 million U.S.); in no case One battle after another which debuted to $48.5 million WW grossed in 74 territories a year ago, this ultimate multiple Oscar winner has become the highest-grossing Paul Thomas Anderson film of all time with $213.2 million WW.

Truth also had more magic than the Warner Bros. film’s announced worldwide opening. Practical Magic 2 which started with 46 million WW dollars in 77 offshore territories.

With a net production cost of $40 million, Truth continues to underline Amazon MGM Studios’ brand in the women’s content space, with their Prime side rallying behind series such as Off campus And She just to name a few.

Truth was also more lively than Hoover’s global launches Regret you ($23.6 million in 43 markets) and Reminders of him ($28.1 million WW, 57 markets) in reported global launches. In several offshore markets, Truth was ahead of Reminders of him And I miss you. Maidwhich is another global hit from author Freida McFadden, isn’t necessarily the version here given its staggered rollout and holiday boost. Truth killed Maid in its openings in the United Kingdom (No. 1 $4.5M 950 screens), Brazil ($3.8M on 715 screens, No. 1) and Australia ($3.1M 500 screens for a No. 1 ranking). We told you before the weekend Truth pre-sales were already in advance It ends with us in Brazil. Mexico’s second-place finish, with $1.5 million from 1,522 screens, is worthy of recognition, as the market is best known for the excellence of genre and family pictures.

News has flowed to Amazon International from overseas offices that Truth wasn’t just a female-oriented film (in the US, with a $32.6 million start, it attracted 78% women), rather it attracted lovers and non-literary guys. Machist film markets like Norway ($400,000, 200 screens at No. 1), Turkey and Ukraine ($370,000 at 235 screens, No. 1 where it’s the biggest opening for an adaptation of a Hoover book) deserve credit.
