Verity, the psychological thriller based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, is heading to digital platforms this week after earning $162 million worldwide in cinemas, according to ComingSoon on October 26, 2026.
The film opened in US theatres on October 2, 2026. It is directed by Michael Showalter and written by Nick Antosca, and stars Anne Hathaway as Verity Crawford, Dakota Johnson as Lowen Ashleigh and Josh Hartnett as Jeremy Crawford. The story follows struggling writer Lowen, hired to ghostwrite for bestselling author Verity, who cannot finish her series after an accident; at the Crawford estate, Lowen finds Verity’s manuscript and notes raising disturbing questions.
Timing reports differ slightly: ComingSoon lists 9 p.m. PT on October 26, which is midnight ET on October 27, while another listing gives October 27 and notes Amazon MGM had not confirmed the date at its time of writing. This article therefore gives the arrival as October 26-27 in the US, rather than a single confirmed hour.
Reception was split: the film holds a 31% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes from 186 reviews, against a 72% audience score, according to ComingSoon. Its running time is about one hour and 57 to 59 minutes, and it is rated R.
