"Anaconda" achieved a significant feat by posting the biggest third weekend for any comedy released in 2025 in the US, collecting $5.1 million during its third weekend. This success positions the film favorably against its predecessors, with current trends indicating a domestic finish between $65 million and $75 million, potentially surpassing the original 1997 film's $65.8 million domestic gross.
