Freakier Friday opened last weekend and quickly proved that the decision to release it in theaters was right. The film pulled in nearly $46 million worldwide, with $31 million from the US and $15 million overseas (per Box Office Mojo). This was enough to land it second place for the weekend, just behind Zach Cregger’s horror hit Weapons.
Freakier Friday Passes Production Budget
With a production budget of $40 million, the sequel has already cleared its costs in a matter of days. This release carries even more weight for Lindsay Lohan, marking her most successful opening weekend yet and pushing her lifetime domestic box office earnings past the $500 million mark, per Collider.
Freakier Friday Becomes Lindsay Lohan’s Biggest Hit In A Decade
The US debut of Freakier Friday alone nearly matches the total domestic gross of her 2013 comedy Scary Movie V ($32 million US and $78 million worldwide), making Freakier Friday one of her biggest hits in over a decade.
Lohan’s career has seen several box office successes over the years, including Herbie: Fully Loaded with $144 million, Mean Girls with $130 million, The Parent Trap with $83 million, and the original Freaky Friday from 2003, which still holds her top spot with $160 million. Now, this 2025 sequel looks ready to challenge that record.
