Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson's 'Verity' Opens to $4.5 Million in Early Screenings

"Verity," the Amazon MGM thriller starring Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson, earned $4.5 million from preview screenings ahead of its first full weekend in theaters, according to Variety. The film is based on a novel by Colleen Hoover, and it is the latest of the author's books to be made into a movie. The preview figure is the first box office number for the film. Variety also reported that "Digger" took in $1.2 million from its own previews. The two films are opening in theaters over the same weekend. In Los Angeles, many of the people who make films like these will be watching the opening-weekend totals as they come in. Weekend box office results are expected in the coming days.
