PTA’s One Battle After Another tops global box office
In just over a week of release, Paul Thomas Anderson’s high‑octane drama has crossed a global revenue milestone, pushing past the $100 million mark worldwide. Led by Leonardo DiCaprio, the film now stands as Anderson’s top‑grossing title to date, eclipsing the director’s earlier landmark, There Will Be Blood, which topped out around $77 million globally. The project carries a reported budget of about $140 million, underscoring the scale of the undertaking.
In its second weekend, the movie’s worldwide total surpassed the $100 million threshold, signaling strong international momentum. While that figure marks a notable achievement, the film still has a ways to go to overtake the studio’s most ambitious numbers. It’s still on track to outperform DiCaprio’s prior collaboration with Scorsese, Killers of the Flower Moon, which earned roughly $60 million domestically and about $150 million worldwide on a heftier budget.
Critics have rallied behind the title, with Rotten Tomatoes listing a certified fresh score at 95% and praising its blend of sweeping action and thematic heft. The ensemble cast includes Benicio del Toro, Sean Penn, Teyana Taylor, Regina Hall, and Chase Infiniti, all contributing to a bustling, character‑driven epic.
As audiences continue to turn out, Collider will monitor the film’s box office trajectory and the conversations it sparks across cinema halls.
