The post-apocalyptic survival thriller Greenland 2: Migration hit theaters on January 9, 2026, clashing directly with the horror release Primate on the same day. However, in the 2026 yearly box office standings, the Gerard Butler-led sequel is currently trailing Primate in both domestic and worldwide earnings, as per Box Office Mojo. At the time of writing, Greenland 2 has raised $11.7 million domestically, placing it around $4.3 million behind Primate, which has raised $16 million in North America. It remains to be seen whether the sequel can reduce this gap as its theatrical run continues over the coming weeks.
As of now, Greenland 2: Migration is also trailing behind the first film’s lifetime haul of $52.3 million. However, the first film did not receive a theatrical release in North America due to the pandemic. This means the sequel will need to earn roughly $40.6 million more domestically to surpass its predecessor at the box office.
Meanwhile, as it continues its ongoing run, Greenland 2 is steadily closing in on the North American total of a 1992 drama, City of Joy, starring Hollywood actor Patrick Swayze and Indian actor Om Puri. Here’s how much more Greenland 2: Migration needs to earn to outgross the film at the domestic box office.
