Running Man Box Office Stumbles Despite Wide Release
5 Dec, 2025
Summary
- The Running Man has earned just over $61.5 million globally.
- Domestic box office collection stands at $35.2 million.
- The film is 2025's second-highest Stephen King adaptation in the US.
The film 'The Running Man' is experiencing a significant box office struggle, falling short of expectations despite a wide release across more than 3,000 theaters. With a substantial $110 million production budget, the movie has only managed to accumulate just over $61.5 million globally.
Domestically, the film has brought in $35.2 million, accounting for 57.3% of the total earnings, while international markets contributed $26.3 million. The opening weekend, with $16.9 million, set a tone of underperformance that has continued, even failing to capitalize on the recent Thanksgiving holiday.
Despite these challenges, 'The Running Man' has surpassed 'The Long Walk' in domestic collection, securing its position as 2025's second-highest-grossing Stephen King adaptation in the US. However, its overall financial performance points towards a disappointing run, contrasting with the success of other King adaptations this year.
