Summary
- "Black Phone 2" crosses $70M in North America, $50M internationally
- Sequel surpasses $120M in global box office earnings
- Closing in on lifetime earnings of "The Curse of La Llorona"
As of November 10th, 2025, Scott Derrickson's supernatural horror sequel "Black Phone 2" has entered its fourth week in theaters and achieved several significant milestones. The Ethan Hawke-led film has now crossed the $70 million mark in North American box office earnings and surpassed $50 million in international markets, resulting in a global total of over $120 million.
These impressive figures have propelled "Black Phone 2" into the top 30 highest-grossing films of 2025, according to Box Office Mojo. The critically acclaimed horror sequel is now closing in on the lifetime earnings of one of "The Conjuring Universe's" lesser-known entries, the 2019 film "The Curse of La Llorona," which it is expected to surpass within the next few days.
Despite facing competition from its digital availability in some regions, "Black Phone 2" has maintained its strong global momentum. The film, which takes place four years after the events of the original, follows the now 17-year-old Finn (Mason Thames) as he continues to grapple with the trauma of escaping the masked kidnapper known as "The Grabber" (Ethan Hawke). However, the horror resurfaces when the villain begins appearing in the disturbing dreams of Finn's younger sister, Gwen (Madeleine McGraw), hinting that the nightmare is far from over.
