Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's documentary 'Cookie Queens,' about girls competing to be top Girl Scout cookie sellers, earned less than £250,000 across 446 US cinemas in its opening weekend, averaging roughly £540 per showing. It was outperformed by 'CatVideoFest 2026,' a compilation of internet cat videos.
Distributor Roadside Attractions called the numbers 'encouraging' and said the film 'has a long life ahead,' while a source told The Times the results were a 'pitiful return.' The film premiered at Sundance 2026 and follows four girls navigating an $800 million cookie-selling industry.
Reviews were unkind: Variety called it 'too much of a reality-show ramble,' and the San Francisco Chronicle said it was 'about as staged as it is sweet.'
