The Running Man Crosses $50 Million Worldwide as Box Office Stalls
A steep second-weekend slide plus a $110 million price tag leaves the film far from theatrical break-even.
Overview
- After 12 days, the movie sits around $50 million worldwide, with $28.7 million domestic and $21.3 million from international markets.
- The second U.S. weekend delivered $5.7 million, a 65.3% drop from opening, per Box Office Mojo figures cited in reports.
- The reported $110 million production budget, the largest of Edgar Wright’s career, puts a theatrical breakeven out of reach according to industry analyses.
- The film is expected to lose a significant number of screens heading into its third weekend, further dimming its box-office trajectory.
- On raw dollars, its $28.7 million domestic total has edged past The Shawshank Redemption’s original 1994 gross, yet it trails 2025 King titles The Long Walk and The Monkey.
