Having completed seven weeks in theaters, Leonardo DiCaprio’s latest release, One Battle After Another, has reached an impressive global box office total of $198.3 million. With the film now available on digital platforms, theatrical footfalls are expected to decline, making its upcoming box office milestones harder to predict. After likely crossing the $200 million mark, its next 2025 target will be Snow White’s global earnings of $205.7 million.

Widely regarded as one of the year’s best-reviewed films, One Battle After Another has also surpassed several notable past hits. And now, Paul Thomas Anderson’s action thriller is closing in on the worldwide total of John McTiernan’s Cold War spy classic The Hunt for Red October, led by Sean Connery. Here’s how much more the film needs to earn to overtake that target at the global box office.

Based on these figures, the Leonardo DiCaprio-led One Battle After Another is currently trailing Sean Connery’s Cold War spy thriller by approximately $2.3 million at the worldwide box office. Given its current momentum and assuming its digital release doesn’t significantly slow down theatrical turnout, the film is expected to surpass The Hunt for Red October within the next few days. A clearer box office verdict is expected to be released soon.
