'Weapons' Nears Clint Eastwood's Box Office Record, Crosses $264M Globally
1 Oct
Summary
- 'Weapons' is 4th highest-grossing horror film of 2025
- Needs $5.1M more to surpass Clint Eastwood's 'Gran Torino'
- Film has already outgrossed several classics like 'The Truman Show'
As of October 1st, 2025, the horror film 'Weapons' has emerged as a box office sensation, inching closer to surpassing the lifetime earnings of legendary actor Clint Eastwood's biggest hit, 'Gran Torino'.
With a worldwide total of $264.9 million, 'Weapons' currently ranks as the fourth-highest-grossing horror movie of the year, trailing only 'Final Destination: Bloodlines', 'Sinners', and 'The Conjuring: Last Rites'. Overall, the film directed by Zach Cregger stands as the 16th biggest release of 2025, though breaking into the top 15 would require outgrossing 'Bloodlines' and its $313.9 million haul, a target that now appears out of reach.
Despite this, 'Weapons' continues to achieve impressive milestones. It has already crossed $150 million domestically and $100 million internationally, while also surpassing the lifetime earnings of several classic films, including 'The Truman Show', 'The Fifth Element', 'Jumanji', and 'Total Recall'. Now, the film is on the verge of topping another benchmark: Clint Eastwood's 2008 hit, 'Gran Torino', which currently holds the record as the highest-grossing movie of the legendary actor's career.
