Meghan and Harry Urged to Step Back After Cookie Queens Box-Office Flop

Harry and Meghan’s first theatrical project as executive producers, Cookie Queens, opened in 446 theaters but failed to crack the domestic top 10, prompting royal commentator Kinsey Schofield to urge them to disappear professionally for a while and focus on one strong project rather than constant publicity; box office totals hovered around $327k–$354k with per‑theater averages of roughly $735–$794, and CatVideoFest 2026 outpaced it over the same weekend, though Roadside Attractions said the film could find more audiences in specialty venues.
