Anne Hathaway’s New Thriller Officially Removed From 500 Theaters

Anne Hathaway’s thriller *Verity* lost 500 cinemas in its third week, as Amazon MGM scaled back its theatrical release. The reduction signals that the film is unlikely to match the success of Colleen Hoover’s earlier adaptation *It Ends with Us*, though it has retained more cinemas than some recent releases.

The film opened in more than 3,500 cinemas and has earned about $115 million worldwide against a reported $40 million budget. Directed by Michael Showalter and also starring Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett, it has received mediocre reviews and has a 31% Rotten Tomatoes score. It follows a writer hired to finish novels for an author who is incapacitated after an accident.
