Overview

  • The film has reached $491.1 million worldwide through its fifth weekend, including $257.9 million in North America and $233.2 million overseas.
  • Industry trackers report it is less than $3 million from topping Clash of the Titans globally and could cross $500 million this weekend.
  • Domestically it has entered Disney’s 50 highest-grossing titles, passing Mufasa: The Lion King, and is closing in on Captain America: The Winter Soldier’s $259.8 million.
  • The run was front‑loaded, with a $117.6 million opening weekend followed by a roughly 67% second‑weekend drop.
  • Reports peg the production budget near $200 million, implying a break‑even around $500 million and a narrow theatrical margin even with a possible $515–$520 million finish.
