Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, the third installment in the Now You See Me film series, hit the big screen on November 14, 2025, and is now in its second week in theaters. With a current global haul of $84.6 million, the heist film has yet to enter the top 40 highest-grossing titles of 2025. To reach that spot, the Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson-starrer must surpass the current 40th title, A Working Man, which stands at $88.2 million worldwide (Box Office Mojo), a gap it’s expected to close within the next few days.

Now, the question is: how does Now You See Me: Now You Don’t compare with the worldwide earnings of the first two films, both of which were commercially successful ventures? And how much must the threequel earn to match, or even outperform, the earnings-to-budget ratios of its predecessors? Let’s break down the numbers.
