The historical tragedy Hamnet has earned nominations in eight categories at the 2026 Academy Awards and has emerged as a serious frontrunner in many of them, including Best Actress (Jessie Buckley), Best Director (Chloé Zhao), and Best Picture. Alongside widespread critical acclaim, the film continues to attract moviegoers to theaters, despite its niche appeal. Last weekend alone, Hamnet collected an impressive $6.8 million from international markets, registering just a 10.5% dip from the previous weekend, bringing its overseas total to $48.8 million.
Combined with a $21.8 million haul from North America, the Oscar-nominated film’s worldwide box office now stands at $70.6 million. In the process, Hamnet has outgrossed several 2025 releases worldwide, including The Monkey, The Running Man, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Long Walk.
The film is now edging closer to the worldwide total of Jim Carrey’s highest-rated movie of all time on IMDb – the 2004 sci-fi romantic drama, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which co-starred Kate Winslet. Here’s how much more Hamnet needs to earn to surpass it at the global box office.
