Verity is within $3 million of surpassing Avengers: Endgame Encore at the North American box office, according to Box Office Mojo data cited by Koimoi. The R-rated thriller, starring Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson, has grossed $34.4 million in just four days since its September 25 release. It’s on track to cross $50 million domestically by the end of its second weekend.

The film’s first Monday gross was $2.4 million — a steep 66.1% drop from Sunday’s opening, which, while significant, still reflects strong initial traction. This performance places it ahead of other recent releases like It Ends with Us, which posted $6.2 million on its first Monday. The movie’s global total stands at $64.2 million after four days, with projections pointing toward a $100 million milestone soon.

The Avengers: Endgame encore, a re-release of the 2019 Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster, has collected $36.6 million to date across North America. While it continues to draw audiences, trade sources note it lacks the same cultural momentum as the original. Verity, directed by Michael Showalter, is based on Colleen Hoover’s novel and follows Lowen Ashleigh (Dakota Johnson), a struggling writer who moves into the remote Crawford estate to ghostwrite for the acclaimed author Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway).

There, she uncovers chilling autobiographical notes that blur the lines between fiction and reality, manipulation and desire, obsession and opportunity. All while grappling with the dark secrets surrounding Verity’s husband, Jeremy (Josh Hartnett). The film is now being positioned as the biggest Colleen Hoover adaptation at the box office in its original run.

Its current trajectory suggests it will outgross the Avengers: Endgame encore during its first discounted Tuesday in North America. The race between the two films isn’t just about numbers. It’s a quiet shift in what audiences are willing to pay for, not just spectacle, but psychological tension, emotional stakes, and narrative risk.

And right now, Verity is winning. The next test? Whether it can sustain momentum beyond the discount window. If it does, it won’t just be a box-office hit.

It’ll be a statement.
