One Battle After Another’s box office performance
Despite critical praise, the Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer One Battle After Another turned out to be a box-office flop due to its massive budget. According to media reports, it was made on a $130 million budget and grossed $72.3 million in North America and $209.58 million worldwide.

Which film has the best earnings-to-budget ratio?
As mentioned above, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was made on a budget of $90 million, and it collected 4.4x the production cost. Therefore, the Quentin Tarantino-helmed film exceeded the break-even point and was a box-office success. Meanwhile, One Battle After Another was made on a budget of $130 million [estimated] and collected just 1.6x the production cost. Hence, it was a box office failure.
Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the box office winner. While the numbers may differ due to changing theatrical trends and market conditions, both films underline his consistent presence in prestige cinema. As awards season unfolds, it will be interesting to see whether his latest contender can match the critical and commercial impact of his previous Oscar-nominated outing.
One Battle After Another has won 13 nominations at the 98th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor.
