## Summary

Anne Hathaway’s drama *Mother Mary* has attracted renewed attention after debuting on HBO Max, following a poor cinema run. The film earned about $3 million against a reported $20 million budget, making it Hathaway’s biggest box-office disappointment of 2026 and a notable miss for A24.

The article says the film was released in April and suggests streaming has helped it find an audience. Hathaway’s other 2026 films performed far better: *The Odyssey* took nearly $1.8 billion worldwide, *The Devil Wears Prada 2* around $700 million, *The End of Oak Street* about $120 million and *Verity* about $160 million. A24 also had several hits this year, including *Backrooms*, which grossed $400 million globally.
