Summary
$354,000 from 446 theaters left "Cookie Queens" with a weak opening weekend, despite Prince Harry and Meghan Markle executive-producing the documentary through Archewell Productions.
CatVideoFest 2026 outgrossed it with about $569,000 from just 255 screens, sharpening doubts that the Sussexes' headline power still translates into ticket sales.
Meghan personally promoted the film before release, but royal commentators said the result suggests audience curiosity about the couple does not automatically become commercial demand for projects not centered on royal-family drama.
The miss adds pressure on Archewell to deliver a mainstream hit as Harry and Meghan move further from the royal-focused projects that drove attention to their 2022 Netflix series and Harry's 2023 memoir "Spare."
