One Battle After Another’ Crosses $71 Million Worldwide as PTA’s Biggest Box-Office Hit Nears

Awards buzz builds following a strong first week at No. 1, with a viral campaign pushing Leonardo DiCaprio onto TikTok.

Overview

  • After one week, the film stands at $31.6 million domestic and $39.8 million international for a $71.4 million global cume, holding the No. 1 spot through Thursday, per Box Office Mojo data reported by trades.
  • It is on track to overtake There Will Be Blood’s $76.4 million lifetime gross in its second weekend, positioning it as Paul Thomas Anderson’s top earner worldwide.
  • Critical reception remains stellar, drawing public praise from Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, and the movie now sits atop Gold Derby’s Best Picture forecast.
  • Warner Bros. paired IMAX and select VistaVision presentations with an unusually digital publicity blitz that featured DiCaprio in TikTok clips and other social activations.
  • With a reported production budget in the roughly $130–175 million range and industry estimates putting theatrical break-even near $300 million, long-term profitability remains uncertain.
