Black Phone 2 North America Box Office: Here’s How Much It Needs To Overtake The Bad Guys 2

Scott Derrickson’s supernatural film Black Phone 2, the sequel to the 2021 horror hit Black Phone, will soon enter its sixth week in theaters. With a current domestic total of $75.3 million, it has become the fifth-highest-grossing horror movie of 2025 at the North American box office (Box Office Mojo). Moreover, it’s the 20th film overall to surpass the $75 million mark at the domestic box office this year.

Having already outgrossed several 2025 titles, including 28 Years Later, One Battle After Another, The Accountant 2, and Ballerina in domestic earnings, the popular horror sequel is now closing in on the animated heist comedy The Bad Guys 2 in North America. Here’s how much Black Phone 2 still needs to earn to outgross it domestically.

Black Phone 2 vs. The Bad Guys 2 – Box Office Comparison

Here is how the two films stack up at the box office, based on figures from Box Office Mojo:

Black Phone 2 – Box Office Summary

• North America: $75.3 million
• International: $53 million
• Worldwide: $128.3 million

The Bad Guys 2 – Box Office Summary 

• North America: $82.6 million
• International: $154.8 million
• Worldwide: $237.4 million

Based on the above numbers, the supernatural horror movie is currently behind the animated film by around $7.3 million at the domestic box office. Since Black Phone 2 has spent nearly five weeks in theaters and considering its digital availability, it remains uncertain whether it can close this gap and surpass The Bad Guys 2 domestically during its ongoing theatrical run. The verdict should be clear in the coming days.
