Following its theatrical release on August 15, 2025, Nobody 2, the sequel to Breaking Bad actor Bob Odenkirk’s 2021 action-thriller Nobody, garnered positive feedback from critics and audiences. The film scored a 78% critics’ score and an 89% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. At the global box office, Nobody 2 has managed to carve its own niche despite stiff competition from the horror sensation Weapons and other recent releases.
With an estimated production budget of $25 million and a current worldwide gross of $30.3 million, Nobody 2 still needs around $32 million more to break even (based on the 2.5x multiplier rule). Whether it can achieve that remains to be seen.
As it continues its global box office run, the film has surpassed the lifetime earnings of the highest-rated movie of all time. It’s Frank Darabont’s 1994 prison drama The Shawshank Redemption, which remains at the top of the IMDb Top 250 list with a remarkable 9.3/10 rating.
