Anaconda Box Office: Comedy Clawing Its Way Up!
3 Jan
Summary
- The film has grossed $55.9 million worldwide, surpassing its $45 million budget.
- Despite a 54.9% decline from its opening, it's the top comedy second Thursday in years.
- It's the seventh installment in the Anaconda franchise, released on December 25.
The comedy film Anaconda has surpassed its $45 million production budget, accumulating $55.9 million worldwide as of early January 2026. This success comes despite a 54.9% decline in earnings from its opening week. On New Year's Day, which was its second Thursday in theaters, the movie brought in $4.1 million, marking a significant achievement for a comedy release.
This seventh installment in the Anaconda series, featuring Paul Rudd and Jack Black, opened on December 25 and has garnered $35.9 million domestically and $20 million internationally. Its strong performance is bolstered by a lack of direct competition in the comedy genre, allowing it to maintain a position within the top five films.
The film's plot centers on childhood friends attempting to remake the 1997 original, only to encounter a monstrous anaconda. While it is performing well, it still has a ways to go to surpass the original cult classic's box office success.
