Santa's Revenge: Violent Night 2 vs. Thunderbolts Box Office!
5 Aug
Summary
- Violent Night 2 aims to surpass Thunderbolts' $382.4 million worldwide gross.
- David Harbour's Santa sequel faces competition from Avengers, Dune 3.
- The film is set to release on December 4, facing stiff holiday competition.
David Harbour reprises his role as Santa Claus in the upcoming "Violent Night 2," slated for release on December 4. The film's box office prospects are being closely watched, particularly in comparison to the performance of Harbour's previous major project, the MCU's "Thunderbolts." The first "Violent Night" saw Santa portrayed as a Viking warrior battling mercenaries, a persona that gained traction.
"Thunderbolts," which featured Harbour as Alexei Shostakov (Red Guardian), grossed $382.4 million worldwide. For "Violent Night 2" to be considered a success against this benchmark, it needs to earn less than $390 million globally. This would be a significant achievement for Harbour, especially as he leads this sequel, unlike his supporting role in the MCU film.
However, "Violent Night 2" enters a crowded December release window. It will compete with major blockbusters such as "Avengers: Doomsday," "Dune 3," and "Jumanji: Open World." Directed by Tommy Wirkola, the sequel also stars Kristen Bell and Jared Harris, with a synopsis detailing Santa rediscovering Christmas spirit while confronting a ruthless gangster.
