The latest feature film adaptation of It Ends with Us author Colleen Hoover’s work is a streaming sensation. It’s even taken over Netflix after just a single day.
Per FlixPatrol, Reminders of Him is officially the number one film on Netflix in the United States, a spot which it claimed after less than 24 full hours on the platform. If that weren’t enough, Reminders of Him has also made its way onto the top ten lists for 20 different countries on HBO Max, ranging from Mexico to Chile to Panama.
Audiences Love Colleen Hoover’s Reminders of Him
Directed by Vanessa Caswill from a screenplay so-written by Lauren Levine and Colleen Hoover, Reminders of Him made its way into theaters back in March as the fourth major adaptation of Hoover’s work. The film stars Maika Monroe as Kenna Rowan, a woman who is released from prison after serving a six-year sentence for vehicular manslaughter for the accident that claimed the life of her boyfriend, Scott.
During her incarceration, Kenna gave birth to a daughter, Diem, who was raised by Scott’s parents, Lauren Graham’s Grace and Bradley Whitford’s Patrick. Although Kenna is unable to simply step into the others’ lives, she begins finding connections with the likes of Tyriq Withers’ Ledger Ward, Scott’s best friend with whom she forms an unexpected romance.
Upon its release, Reminders of Him quickly became a new favorite among fans, who lauded the romantic drama and tense interpersonal narratives at the heart of the story. Over the course of its box office run, Reminders of Him grossed $89 million, all against a mere $25 million budget. Critics, on the other hand, weren’t quite so keen on Reminders of Him, leaving the film with a 56% critical “Tomatometer” score via review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, as compared to an 87% user-generated “Verified Hot” rating on the platform.
What’s Next for the Stars of Reminders of Him?
While Reminders of Him star Tyriq Withers will be heading back to the silver screen for further romantic outings in upcoming features like Love Love from writer-director Joey Power, his co-star Maika Monroe will be returning to the big screen to reprise what is arguably her most iconic role of all time as Jamie “Jay” Height in They Follow. The long-awaited sequel to David Robert Mitchell’s It Follows, They Follow will also see the return of It Follows star Keir Gilchrist as Paul.
Although plot details remain tightly under wraps, Monroe herself previously teased that They Follow will embark upon some decidedly new territory compared to the original. “It’s been very cool to see, you know, reading the script, and this character is so important to me. It really changed my life in so many ways. You have to see where she is 10 years later,” Monroe stated back in March. “I think it’ll [surprise people].”
Reminders of Him is currently streaming on Netflix in the United States and HBO Max in other territories.
