Cookie Queens documentary fails at US box office
The documentary “Cookie Queens,” executive produced by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle through Archewell Productions, has seen a disappointing box office debut. The film, which follows the experiences of Girl Scouts, earned approximately $327,000 to $354,000 during its opening weekend across 446 theaters in the US.
Notably, the film was outperformed by “CatVideoFest 2026,” a compilation of viral cat videos that earned roughly $569,000 despite being shown on significantly fewer screens. Critics have described the project as lacking emotional depth, with some labeling it a “reality-show ramble.”
In response to the commercial setback, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield has advised the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to “disappear professionally” for a period. Schofield suggested they reduce the frequency of public announcements and focus on executing a single, high-quality project with experienced professionals to rebuild their brand credibility and reputation.
