Running Man Bombs: $110M Film Flops at Box Office
14 Dec, 2025
Summary
- The Running Man adaptation collected $66.5 million globally against its $110 million budget.
- The film struggles to gain momentum internationally and domestically.
- Audiences may be tired of revisiting the story after the 1987 film.
The final Stephen King novel adaptation of 2025, "The Running Man," has experienced a disappointing box office performance. Despite a considerable $110 million production budget and direction by Edgar Wright, the film has only garnered $66.5 million globally, with $37.3 million from the domestic market and $29.2 million from overseas.
Several reasons are being suggested for the film's weak collections. A highly competitive release window, filled with other major films, may have limited its potential. Additionally, audiences might be reluctant to revisit a story already popularized by the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film, leading to viewer fatigue.
