Leonardo DiCaprio’s ‘One Battle After Another’ Tops Box Office in Debut Weekend

Summary

• Leonardo DiCaprio’s film “One Battle After Another” debuted at the top of the box office
• The film earned $48.5 million USD globally, but is considered a disappointment given its $200 million USD cost
• The comedic action thriller stars DiCaprio as a former revolutionary searching for his missing daughter

Leonardo DiCaprio’s new film, “One Battle After Another,” debuted at the top of the box office. It garnered $22.4 million USD from 3,634 North American theaters and an additional $26.1 million USD internationally, totaling $48.5 million USD globally for its opening weekend.

Despite its chart-topping performance, industry experts are questioning the film’s initial success. With a production cost of $130 million USD and an additional $70 million spent on promotion, “One Battle After Another” is estimated to need to reach approximately $300 million USD globally to turn a profit. Consequently, a $20 million domestic debut is considered disappointing given the substantial investment.

Released by Warner Bros. Pictures, “One Battle After Another” is a comedic action thriller directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Bob, a former revolutionary who lives in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off the grid with his spirited and self-reliant daughter, Willa, played by Chase Infiniti. The plot unfolds when his old nemesis resurfaces and Willa goes missing, forcing Bob to confront his past while searching for her, as both father and daughter fight against the consequences of their pasts.
