Following its theatrical release on September 12, 2025, Francis Lawrence’s dystopian survival thriller, The Long Walk, has been in the news for all the right reasons. First, the film received an impressive 88% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes and a solid 7.3/10 IMDb rating. Moreover, the latest Stephen King adaptation has also been making its presence felt at the global box office. With a worldwide tally of $43.2 million, it now ranks among the top 50 titles of 2025.
A few days ago, The Long Walk surpassed the lifetime earnings of several iconic films, such as Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner (1982), Clint Eastwood’s Escape from Alcatraz (1979), and Christopher Nolan’s Memento (2001). When it comes to 2025 releases, the movie is just inches away from outgrossing the 96%-rated spy thriller by Ocean’s Eleven filmmaker Steven Soderbergh. That film is the Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender-starrer Black Bag. Let’s see how much more The Long Walk needs to earn to overtake it at the global box office.
