2025 has been a fantastic year for horror fans. It kicked off with Ryan Coogler’s acclaimed period film Sinners, followed by the unsettling psychological horror Bring Her Back, supernatural thriller Final Destination: Bloodlines, and Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later. And now, Zach Cregger’s Weapons and The Conjuring: Last Rites are performing impressively at the box office. With a worldwide total of $260.8 million (per Box Office Mojo), Weapons currently trails Final Destination: Bloodlines by roughly $50 million and Sinners by around $106 million globally.
Currently ranking among the top 20 highest-grossing films of 2025 and the fourth highest-grossing horror title of the year, Weapons recently overtook Johnny Depp’s Western The Lone Ranger, the slasher flick Halloween, and Jordan Peele’s acclaimed horror films Get Out and Us.
And now, the Barbarian director’s horror hit is closing in on the lifetime earnings of a Marvel superhero movie and a critically acclaimed Jim Carrey classic at the global box office. These movies are the second MCU film, The Incredible Hulk (2008), starring Edward Norton, and Jim Carrey’s 94%-rated psychological comedy-drama The Truman Show (1998). Here’s how much Weapons needs to earn to overtake them at the global box office.
