Anne Hathaway Lands Third No. 1 Movie of the Year With 'Verity'

Programme
- Anne Hathaway's 'Verity' is her third No. 1 movie of the year.
- Her 2025 releases include 'The Devil Wears Prada 2,' 'Verity' and 'The Odyssey.'
- The streak follows an extended absence from major studio films.
Anne Hathaway has scored her third No. 1 movie of the year with "Verity." The film caps a run that also includes "The Devil Wears Prada 2" and "The Odyssey," according to the box-office report.
The milestone marks a striking turnaround for the actress, who had spent an extended period away from major studio films before 2025. This year she has starred in "The Devil Wears Prada 2," "Verity" and "The Odyssey," among other movies, the report notes.
What makes the 'Verity' debut significant?
"Verity" is Hathaway's third chart-topping release in a single calendar year. That concentration of No. 1 openings follows her long absence from the major-studio pipeline, a gap the report describes as extended.
The film shares its year with two other Hathaway vehicles: the sequel "The Devil Wears Prada 2" and Christopher Nolan's epic "The Odyssey." The report lists all three among the movies she has starred in this year, "among other" titles.
How did Hathaway get here?
The report frames 2025 as a return. After stepping back from major studio films for an extended stretch, Hathaway re-entered that arena with a slate that now spans a legacy sequel, a literary thriller adaptation and a big-budget epic.
Three No. 1 movies in one year places her at the center of the studio release calendar in a way her recent output had not. The report does not break down individual grosses for each title, but records the cumulative result: a trio of chart-topping films in 2025.
What comes next?
With "Verity," "The Devil Wears Prada 2" and "The Odyssey" all topping the chart this year — and the report noting other movies beyond those three — the question for the months ahead is whether Hathaway can extend the streak, and whether studios will keep building tentpoles around her return.
