Box Office Sensation: ‘One Battle After Another’ Breaks $200 Million and Dominates Global Charts

Lionsgate's 'Now You See Me: Now You Don't' achieved the top position on global box office charts, commanding $75.5 million worldwide. The film also secured first place domestically, with an international gross of $54.2 million from 64 territories. Released nearly a decade after the previous installment in the series, this third entry resonated strongly with foreign audiences, particularly in key markets such as China ($19.2 million), South Korea ($3.9 million), France ($3.5 million), and the U.K. ($3.2 million).

Warner Bros.' 'One Battle After Another' navigated a complex journey, ultimately crossing the $200 million mark at the global box office. Initially reported with $196 million globally, the film earned an additional $1.4 million internationally to push past this significant milestone. This epic adventure film, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, features a star-studded cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Teyana Taylor, Regina Hall, and Chase Infiniti.
