Reminders of Him, the Colleen Hoover adaptation starring Maika Monroe, has shot to No. 1 on Netflix in the United States just one day after arriving on the streamer — and it has stayed there. The romantic drama, which began streaming on November 10, reached the top of FlixPatrol’s U.S. Netflix movie rankings on November 11 and held the position on Thursday, November 12, beating out A Dog’s Perfect Christmas and Funny Money: The Dane Cook Story.
The film follows Kenna Rowan, played by Monroe, a young mother who returns to her Wyoming hometown after serving time in prison, hoping to reconnect with the daughter she has never met — only to find the child’s grandparents, played by Lauren Graham and Bradley Whitford, standing firmly in her way. Tyriq Withers co-stars as Ledger Ward, the best friend of Kenna’s late boyfriend, with whom she forms an unexpected romance. Country star Lainey Wilson makes her feature film debut as Amy Matthews.
Hoover’s highest-rated adaptation yet
Directed by Vanessa Caswill from a screenplay by Hoover and Lauren Levine, the film is based on Hoover’s 2022 novel, which has sold more than 6.5 million copies worldwide. It is the fourth major Hoover adaptation to reach the screen, following It Ends With Us and Regretting You, and it is also the best-reviewed of them: it holds a 56 percent critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes — narrowly ahead of It Ends With Us and comfortably ahead of the critically panned Verity — against an 87 percent audience score.
Why Hoover keeps winning on streaming
Hoover’s adaptations have become a reliable streaming phenomenon: It Ends With Us, Regretting You and now Reminders of Him have all found huge audiences at home, and the novels’ built-in readership gives each film a head start that most dramas never get. The source novel has sold more than 6.5 million copies worldwide, and the film’s chart position — measured by FlixPatrol’s daily rankings, which track position rather than viewing hours — shows just how quickly that readership converts into streams.
The Netflix surge is the latest chapter in a profitable run. Reminders of Him opened in cinemas on March 13, 2026, earning $89.2 million worldwide on a $25 million budget, before moving to Peacock on July 10 and then to Netflix on November 10 as part of Universal’s streaming arrangement. For Wilson, the No. 1 spot is a striking film debut: the Yellowstone star’s first movie is now the most-watched film on America’s biggest streamer. The Body premiered today on Netflix with Sofia Wylie leading, and Love Is Blind Habibi season 2 arrives Thursday on Netflix.
