If it had been released a decade ago, a widely acclaimed film like One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, might have at least turned out to be a major hit, if not a full-fledged blockbuster. But given the unpredictable post-pandemic box office landscape, Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest directorial venture currently stands at a domestic total of $70.3 million and $130.1 million internationally, taking its global haul to a still respectable $200.4 million after running for nearly eight weeks in theaters.

As of now, One Battle After Another has become the 24th film of 2025 to cross the $70 million milestone at the domestic box office. As it approaches the end of its ongoing theatrical run, the film is now just inches away from outgrossing Danny Boyle’s horror sequel 28 Years Later in North America. Here’s how much more the Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer needs to earn to hit that domestic box office milestone.

Here’s how the two films stack up at the box office, according to data from Box Office Mojo:

One Battle After Another – Box Office Summary

North America: $70.3 million
International: $130.1 million
Worldwide: $200.4 million

28 Years Later – Box Office Summary

North America: $70.5 million
International: $80.8 million
Worldwide: $151.3 million

As the above figures show, the Paul Thomas Anderson film currently trails Danny Boyle’s horror hit 28 Years Later at the North American box office. However, with only a small gap of approximately $200,000 between them, One Battle After Another still has enough momentum to achieve this domestic box office milestone in the coming days.
