How did One Battle After Another perform compared to Leonardo DiCaprio's previous thriller, Body of Lies?

One Battle After Another has surpassed the box office collection of Leonardo DiCaprio's 2008 thriller Body of Lies in under two weeks, proving that even star power can't save a film if the content falls flat at the box office.

What is the current status of One Battle After Another's box office performance?

One Battle After Another has consistently retained the top spot at the North American box office, but its daily collection has recently dropped below $1 million for the first time, and it is set to lose screens due to the upcoming release of Tron: Ares.

What are the financial challenges faced by One Battle After Another?

Despite its box office dominance, One Battle After Another's massive budget of $130 million is the primary reason behind its potential failure as a financial success. The film has only managed to rake in $118.2 million at the worldwide box office in two weeks, making it harder to achieve its break-even target.
