Overview

  • It has overtaken Ridley Scott’s ‘Napoleon’ and Scorsese’s ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ to claim the top box office spot in Apple’s cinema slate.
  • Opening weekend ticket sales reached $146 million, driven by strong word of mouth and blockbuster appeal.
  • IMAX screenings generated about $60 million worldwide, roughly 20% of total revenue, aided by an exclusive three-week run.
  • Industry estimates place the combined production and marketing budget above $350 million, meaning theatrical returns alone have yet to reach break-even.
  • Analysts project the film will surpass $300 million—and could reach $517 million—before its planned debut on Apple TV+ later in 2025.
