Reminders of Him Box Office Prediction

Out Friday, romantic drama Reminders of Him is the latest entry in the expanding Colleen Hoover cinematic universe. Based on a 2022 novel by the YA author, Vanessa Caswill directs a cast led by Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers. Costars include Rudy Pankow, country artist Lainey Wilson, Lauren Graham, and Bradley Whitford.

In 2024, the adaptation of Hoover’s best known work It Ends with Us was a scorching success. It debuted to $50 million on its way to $148 million domestically (and plenty of tabloid ink after its release thanks to Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni). Last fall, Regretting You (from a 2019 Hoover story) saw notably smaller numbers with a $13.7 million start and $49 million overall stateside.

The buzz for Him seems quiet and I’m estimating the downward trend will continue. I’ll project it barely tops $10 million.

Reminders of Him opening weekend prediction: $10.4 million

Him Box Office Prediction

Universal hopes sports and horror is a successful mix when Him opens September 19th. From Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw production house, Justin Tipping directs and cowrites. Marlon Wayans is an aging quarterback training a newbie (Tyriq Winters) via unconventional methods. The supporting cast includes Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker and Jim Jefferies.

If Peele were behind the camera, my projection might double. Scary movie aficionados have had lots to feast on recently (Weapons, The Conjuring: Last Rites). Him should successfully bring a fair portion out though it’s unlikely to approach the level of the aforementioned pics.

We have certainly seen this genre greatly exceed expectations in 2025, but I’ll say low 20s is where this lands.

Him opening weekend prediction: $20.3 million

I Know What You Did Last Summer Box Office Prediction

Sony hopes horror fans get hooked on the nostalgic scares of I Know What You Did Last Summer on July 18th. It restarts the late 90s franchise that capitalized on Kevin Williamson’s notoriety from Scream (he penned both). Jennifer Kaytin Robinson directs with Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Winters, Sarah Pidgeon, and Billy Campbell among the cast. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reprise their roles from the features over a quarter century ago.

The teen centric slasher from 1997 was a financial success ($72 million domestically) while 1998 follow-up I Still Know What You Did Last Summer couldn’t measure up with $40 million stateside. This series may not hold the same reverence that Scream does among genre fans. Name brand familiarity could still mean decent grosses.

Tracking has this pegged in the mid to late teens. I think it could go higher in the low 20s, but I’ll go with the expectations.
