The sequel turned out to be the highest-grossing film in Denzel Washington’s career. It has great ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, 72% from critics and 83% from the audience. The movie takes place several years after the events of the first film. According to media reports, it had a hefty budget of over $250 million. This sequel is led by Paul Mescal and also features Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal.
According to the trade analyst’s report, Gladiator II is holding strong post-Thanksgiving at the US box office. The film collected $1.8 million on Thursday. It registered the third biggest second Thursday of the year for R-rated movies, just a drop of 73.3% from last Thanksgiving Thursday.

It has hit a $120.3 million cume in the United States. It is reportedly eyeing a $175 million – $200 million run in the United States. The film is performing well at the overseas box office as well.
It has collected $208.80 million at the international box office, and allied with the $120.3 million domestic cume, the worldwide collection stands at $329.09 million. The movie recently surpassed The Wild Robot‘s $321.91 million collection.
Gladiator II was released in the US on November 22, and it collected $55.03 million on its debut weekend.
