**Strong Thursday previews of $4.5 million, fueled by Colleen Hoover’s dedicated readership, have anchored trader expectations for a $30–35 million domestic opening for the Anne Hathaway–Dakota Johnson–Josh Hartnett thriller.** Despite mixed reviews (around 45% on Rotten Tomatoes), the $40 million Amazon MGM adaptation benefits from proven Hoover brand momentum—following *It Ends With Us*’ $50 million debut—and solid pre-sales that outpaced recent entries like *Reminders of Him*. Friday estimates pointing to roughly $14.5 million (including previews) reinforce the market’s heaviest weighting on the 32–34 million bracket, with 30–32 million close behind. Weak competition from the underperforming *Digger* further supports this range, though final walk-up business and word-of-mouth remain key swing factors ahead of the full weekend close.
