Summary
- The Running Man has grossed $48.3 million worldwide in ten days.

- The film needs $10 million more to enter 2025's top 50 highest-grossing films.
Edgar Wright's adaptation of Stephen King's "The Running Man," starring Glen Powell, has achieved a significant box office milestone, earning $48.3 million globally within its initial ten days of release. This impressive figure surpasses the lifetime gross of the 1987 original film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger by more than $10 million.
Currently, the new dystopian thriller is on the verge of outgrossing Mel Gibson's "Flight Risk." With only about $400,000 separating the two films' worldwide totals, "The Running Man" is poised to claim victory imminently, demonstrating strong audience engagement.
Looking ahead, "The Running Man" aims to break into the top 50 highest-grossing films of 2025. It requires an additional $10 million to surpass the current 50th-ranked film, "Den of Thieves 2: Pantera." Projections indicate this goal will likely be met within the coming days.
