Leonardo DiCaprio’s latest release, One Battle After Another, is on the verge of completing two months in theaters. With a current worldwide tally of $202.1 million, the widely acclaimed action thriller ranks among the top 20 highest-grossing titles of 2025 (as per Box Office Mojo). Among 2025 releases, it trails just behind Snow White, which stands at $205.7 million worldwide, meaning the film needs to earn around $3.6 million more to outgross it. Whether it can retain its spot among 2025’s top 30 while also surpassing the Disney film remains to be seen.
While the Paul Thomas Anderson-directed venture has already crossed its estimated $140 million production budget (via The Numbers), it is still about $148 million short of its $350 million break-even point, based on the 2.5x multiplier rule. That said, the film remains a strong Oscar contender in major categories and is now closing in on the lifetime earnings of a cult classic thriller starring Tom Cruise. We’re talking about the 2001 movie Vanilla Sky. Here’s how much more One Battle After Another must earn to outgross it at the global box office.
