One Battle After Another’ Debuts No. 1 With $22.4 Million, Profit Outlook Uncertain

Analysts say the acclaimed, high-cost release needs staying power overseas to approach a roughly $300 million break-even.

Overview

  • The global opening reached about $48.5–49 million, with roughly $22.4 million domestic and about $26 million from international markets.
  • Trades report a production budget near $130 million plus substantial marketing, with industry estimates pegging break-even at around $300 million worldwide.
  • Critical reception is strong, with an approximately 96% Rotten Tomatoes score and early awards buzz for Paul Thomas Anderson and Leonardo DiCaprio.
  • Warner Bros. has not announced PVOD or HBO Max timing, and any streaming date chatter remains speculative.
  • Presented in premium formats and sparking broad political discussion, the film’s commercial trajectory may hinge on overseas growth, word-of-mouth, awards momentum, and competition from new releases.
