"One Battle After Another" Nears $100M Milestone, Surpassing DiCaprio's "J Edgar" Flop
5 Oct
Summary
- "One Battle After Another" on track to cross $100M worldwide
- Film has already surpassed Leonardo DiCaprio's "J Edgar" box office earnings
- Domestic total for "One Battle After Another" hits $34.9M after strong second Friday
As of October 5th, 2025, Paul Thomas Anderson's latest film "One Battle After Another," featuring Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead role, is on the verge of achieving a significant box office milestone. The movie has already surpassed the lifetime earnings of DiCaprio's previous biographical drama "J Edgar," which was directed by Clint Eastwood and considered a box office flop.
"One Battle After Another" has been steadily gaining momentum since its release on September 26th. The film collected a strong $3.3 million on its second Friday at the domestic box office, a 63.3% decline from its opening weekend. This has pushed the film's domestic total to $34.9 million. Industry analysts predict that "One Battle After Another" will collect between $11 million and $13 million in its second three-day weekend, further solidifying its position.
Internationally, the film has already amassed $45 million, bringing its worldwide total to $79.9 million. This puts it less than $10 million away from surpassing the lifetime earnings of "J Edgar," which stands at $84.9 million. With its strong performance both domestically and globally, "One Battle After Another" is expected to cross the coveted $100 million milestone in the coming weeks, cementing its status as a box office success.
