DiCaprio’s Box Office Consistency Across Genres
The opening weekend highlights DiCaprio’s consistency at the box office across genres. While his biggest hits leaned on blockbuster spectacle and visual grandeur, One Battle After Another is a prestige comedy-drama. Such films usually open smaller but tend to have long legs, suggesting steady returns over time.
DiCaprio’s name and performance continue to carry event-level appeal. The timing works in his favor, following the success of The Revenant and his 2016 Oscar win, keeping him in both awards and commercial territory.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s Career-High Opening
For Paul Anderson, this marks his highest opening ever. Known for critically acclaimed films like There Will Be Blood and Phantom Thread, which had modest debuts before awards buzz elevated them, this $22.4 million launch is a career milestone. Besides, strong word-of-mouth is adding to its momentum.
If One Battle After Another sustains its pace, it could become one of DiCaprio’s most successful non-blockbusters, joining the ranks of Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood and The Departed, both of which had impressive staying power fueled by awards attention and audience praise.
