Gladiator 2’s Box Office Leaps into Two Major All-Time Highest-Grossing Movie Milestones Despite VOD Release
Despite its VOD release on December 24, the sequel to Ridley Scott’s 2001 Best Picture winner has leaped into two major all-time highest-grossing movie milestones. The historical epic, directed by Scott and starring Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, and Denzel Washington, has grossed over $449 million worldwide, ranking 21st on the all-time list of historical movies globally.
The sequel has also entered the top 25 highest-grossing historical movies of all time domestically, ranking 25th. With a domestic gross of $169 million and an international gross of $280 million, the movie has continued to perform well at the box office, even after its VOD release.
Gladiator 2’s success is impressive, considering its massive $250 million budget. However, the movie still needs to generate an additional $50 million to break even. Despite this, the movie’s path to profitability remains uncertain.
The movie’s box office milestones are a testament to its enduring appeal, with many fans and critics praising its action-packed sequences and memorable performances. With its strong box office performance, Gladiator 2 is set to become one of the highest-grossing movies of the year.
