One Battle After Another Debuts No. 1 With $48.5 Million Worldwide

Analysts question profitability given a reported $130–$175 million budget with a roughly $300 million break-even threshold.

Overview

  • The film earned an estimated $22.4 million in North America and about $26.1 million overseas for a global opening near $48.5 million.
  • This marks Paul Thomas Anderson’s biggest opening weekend to date and ranks among Leonardo DiCaprio’s top 10 domestic debuts.
  • Critical response is strong, with roughly a 96% Rotten Tomatoes critics’ score and immediate awards-season buzz.
  • Audience turnout skewed heavily toward Democratic-leaning areas, with EntTelligence reporting about 72% of admissions in blue counties and weaker results in parts of Texas.
  • No digital or streaming date has been announced, and box-office legs could face pressure from upcoming wide releases and re-releases.
