A few days ago, the critically acclaimed action thriller One Battle After Another became Paul Thomas Anderson’s highest-grossing film, surpassing his previous top earner, There Will Be Blood. However, the film still has a long way to go to break even. Made on an estimated budget of $140 million, the Leonardo DiCaprio starrer has earned $138.1 million globally. To reach its break-even point of $350 million, it must earn approximately $212 million more, using the 2.5x multiplier rule. How close the film can get to this target remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, One Battle After Another has already overtaken the global earnings of several popular 2025 releases, including the John Wick spinoff Ballerina, Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17, and Karate Kid: Legends. Now, it is closing in on the lifetime earnings of a popular mid-2000s action-adventure film directed by Martin Campbell, who also helmed two James Bond films – Pierce Brosnan’s GoldenEye (1995) and Daniel Craig’s Casino Royale (2006). We’re talking about the 2005 Western, The Legend of Zorro. Here’s how much One Battle After Another needs to earn to surpass it at the global box office.
