One Battle After Another is steadily climbing the global box office charts and has already grossed $110.8 million in worldwide earnings (per Box Office Mojo). A few days ago, it also became acclaimed director Paul Thomas Anderson’s highest-grossing film. However, with an estimated production budget of $140 million (per The Numbers), the Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer is yet to cross its break-even point of around $350 million, based on the 2.5x multiplier rule.
After outgrossing several 2025 titles, including The Naked Gun, The Accountant 2, and Detective Conan: One-Eyed Flashback, One Battle After Another now ranks among the top 30 highest-grossing titles of the year.
And now, the critically acclaimed film is inching closer to outperforming the 2023 Tom Hanks comedy-drama, A Man Called Otto, at the global box office. Read on to find out how much more the action-thriller needs to earn globally to outgross it.
One Battle After Another vs. A Man Called Otto– Box Office Comparison
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
Domestic: $45.5 million
International: $65.2 million
Worldwide: $110.7 million
A Man Called Otto – Box Office Summary
North America: $64.2 million
International: $49.1 million
Worldwide: $113.3 million
The above figures show that One Battle After Another currently trails A Man Called Otto by around $2.6 million in worldwide earnings. However, at its current pace, the Paul Thomas Anderson film is expected to surpass the Tom Hanks-led comedy-drama within the next few days.
How One Battle After Another Compares With Killers Of The Flower Moon
With a current global haul of $110.8 million, Leonardo DiCaprio’s latest release is yet to surpass the worldwide earnings of his previous film, Killers of the Flower Moon, which earned $158.8 million at the box office. However, given its steady momentum, One Battle After Another is expected to close the $40 million gap and potentially surpass that figure in the coming days.
