‘Sisu: Road to Revenge’ Tops ‘Son of Saul’ as Early Box Office Builds

Overview

• In five days, the sequel surpassed Son of Saul’s $6.6 million global haul and is around $7 million worldwide, with reporting indicating it is on pace to clear $10 million.
• Sisu: Road to Revenge holds an approximate 96% Rotten Tomatoes score, with critics praising its relentless, tightly engineered action.
• Despite being a Finnish‑language follow‑up, its opening weekend landed just about $1 million shy of Nuremberg domestically, signaling solid competitive play.
• The film’s reported $12 million budget pairs with an 85–89 minute cut that director Jalmari Helander kept intentionally compact for focus and impact.
• The 2022 original saw a brief free‑streaming resurgence on Tubi but is now sliding toward the edge of the top 10, as Helander advances a Rambo prequel and keeps a third Sisu as a possibility.
