Having already crossed the $50 million mark at the domestic box office and surpassed the $100 million milestone globally, Scott Derrickson’s latest horror film, Black Phone 2, is now eyeing the $50 million figure in international markets. With a current worldwide tally of $105.8 million, the supernatural horror film ranks as the 32nd highest-grossing title of 2025 so far, as per Box Office Mojo.

In addition to earning positive reviews from several critics, Black Phone 2, starring Ethan Hawke, saw a notable surge in audience interest and box office momentum during the Halloween season. The film has now joined an elite group of 2025 horror titles that have crossed the $100 million milestone, alongside The Conjuring: Last Rites, Sinners, Final Destination: Bloodlines, Weapons, and 28 Years Later.
As its theatrical run continues, the film is now inching closer to the lifetime earnings of another major horror hit – the 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Here’s how much more it needs to earn to overtake that slasher flick at the global box office.
