October begins with an exciting pair of theatrical debuts. On October 2, Tom Cruise teams up with director Alejandro G. Iñárritu in his first original action movie in eight years, with the recent trailer showcasing that this is not to be missed. The movie also marks Iñárritu’s first English-language feature since his 2015 hit The Revenant, which earned Leonardo DiCaprio his long-awaited Oscar for Best Actor. Could Digger win Cruise the same prize?
But if Digger isn’t your cup of tea, then October 2 also marks the release date for the next in a recent flurry of Colleen Hoover adaptations. Set to star the hugely talented Anne Hathaway—who can currently be spotted in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey— Verity takes the usual melodramatic romance stories of Hoover and sends them down a darkly psychological path, making for the most intriguing adaptation yet. Reuniting Hathaway with Michael Showalter, who previously directed her in Prime Video’sThe Idea of You, the film also stars the likes of Dakota Johnson, Josh Hartnett, Ismael Cruz Cordóva, and Brady Wagner.
As fans get in the mood for Verity, they’ve sent another Hoover adaptation flying up the streaming charts. At the time of writing, Regretting You is one of the ten most-streamed movies on Netflix in the world, a list topped by the true crime title Shipwrecked: Nightmare at Sea. The second feature Hoover adaptation after the controversial It Ends With Us that sparked Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni‘s legal battle, Regretting You might not have earned critical acclaim, being dubbed “messy” in Isabella Soares‘ review for Collider, but it was at least a hit with fans. Directed by Josh Boone, the film stars Allison Williams, Mckenna Grace, Dave Franco, Mason Thames, Scott Eastwood, Willa Fitzgerald, and Clancy Brown.
Collider Exclusive · TV Medicine Quiz Which Fictional Hospital Would You Work Best In? The Pitt · ER · Grey’s Anatomy · House · Scrubs
Five hospitals. Five completely different ways medicine goes sideways on television — brutal, chaotic, romantic, brilliant, and ridiculous. Only one of them is the ward your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out exactly where you belong.
🚨The Pitt
🏥ER
💉Grey’s
🔬House
🩺Scrubs
01
A critical patient comes through the door. What’s your first instinct? Medicine under pressure reveals who you actually are.
02
Why did you go into medicine in the first place? The honest answer says more about you than the one you’d give in an interview.
03
What do you actually want from the people you work with? Who you want beside you under pressure is who you are.
04
You lose a patient you fought hard to save. How do you carry it? Every doctor who’s worked a long shift has had to answer this question.
05
How would your colleagues describe the way you work? Your reputation on the floor is usually more accurate than your self-image.
06
How do you feel about hospital protocol and procedure? Every institution has rules. What you do with them is a choice.
07
What does this job cost you personally? Nobody works in medicine without paying a price. What’s yours?
08
At the end of a long shift, what keeps you coming back? The answer to this question is the most honest thing about you.
Your Assignment Has Been Made You Belong In…
Your answers have pointed to one fictional hospital above all others. This is the ward your instincts, your temperament, and your particular brand of dysfunction were built for.
Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center
The Pitt
You are built for the most unsparing version of emergency medicine television has ever shown — one that puts you inside a single fifteen-hour shift and doesn’t let you look away.
You need your work to be real, not romanticised — meaning over drama, honesty over aesthetics.
You find purpose inside the work itself, not in the chaos surrounding it.
You’ve made peace with the fact that this job takes from you constantly, and gives back in ways that are harder to name.
Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center demands exactly that kind of person — and you would not want to be anywhere else.
County General Hospital, Chicago
ER
You are the person who keeps the whole floor running — not the most brilliant in the room, but possibly the most essential.
You show up, do the work, absorb the losses, and come back the next day without needing the job to be anything other than what it is.
You care about patients as individual human beings, not as cases to solve or dramas to live through.
You believe in the system even when it fails you — and you understand that emergency medicine is about holding the line just long enough.
ER is television about endurance. You have it.
Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, Seattle
Grey’s Anatomy
You came to medicine with your whole self — your ambition, your emotions, your relationships, your history — and you have never quite managed to leave any of it at the door.
You feel things fully and form deep attachments to the people you work with.
Your personal and professional lives are permanently, chaotically entangled — and that entanglement drives both your greatest disasters and your most remarkable saves.
You understand that extraordinary medicine often happens at the intersection of clinical skill and profound human connection.
It’s messy at Grey Sloan. You would not have it any other way.
Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, NJ
House
You are drawn to the problem above everything else — the symptom that doesn’t fit, the diagnosis hiding underneath the obvious one.
You’re not primarily motivated by the patient as a person — though you are capable of caring, even if you’d deny it.
You work best when the stakes are highest and the standard answer is wrong.
Princeton-Plainsboro exists to house one extraordinary, impossible mind — and everyone around that mind is there because they’re smart enough to keep up.
The only way forward here is to think harder than everyone else in the room. That is exactly what you do.
Sacred Heart Hospital, California
Scrubs
You understand that medicine is tragic and absurd in almost equal measure — and that the only sane response is to hold both of those things at the same time.
You are warm, self-aware, and funnier than most people in your field.
You use humour to get through terrible moments — and at Sacred Heart, that’s not a flaw, it’s a survival strategy.
You lean on the people around you and let them lean back. The laughter and the grief are genuinely inseparable here.
Scrubs is a show about learning to become someone worthy of the job. You are still very much in the middle of that process — which is exactly right.
How Much Did ‘Regretting You’ Make at the Box Office?
Propelled forward by the high-profile controversy, It Ends With Us was an enormous box office hit, reaching heights the follow-up was never going to match. But was Regretting You at least successful? The simple answer is yes, with the film scoring a $90 million haul against a reported budget of $30 million, a similar total to 2026’s third Hoover adaptation, Reminders of Him, starring Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers.
Regretting You is streaming now. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.
