Edgar Wright’s The Running Man Nears $32 Million as Audience Praise Outpaces Mixed Reviews

The early gross leaves the $110 million King adaptation facing tough economics in a crowded release window.

Overview

  • The Running Man has earned an estimated $20.4 million in North America and $11.2 million internationally for a $31.6 million worldwide total.
  • The film trails Nobody 2 by just over $1 million domestically and could overtake it soon based on current pacing, according to Box Office Mojo data cited by Koimoi.
  • Roughly 65% of revenue to date comes from the U.S., indicating stronger domestic pull than overseas markets.
  • With a reported budget near $110 million, trade coverage characterizes the early run as soft as new releases like Wicked for Good tighten competition for screens.
  • Audience reactions have been enthusiastic while critics are more measured, with Rotten Tomatoes scores in the mid‑60s and commentary highlighting the film’s class‑focused political themes.
