One Battle After Another’ Nears $170 Million as Awards Push Targets Globes Comedy Categories

The studio is steering the awards campaign toward Globes comedy slots to maximize recognition despite a soft theatrical run.

Overview

  • Warner Bros. is reportedly submitting the Paul Thomas Anderson film in the Golden Globes’ Comedy/Musical fields, including acting categories for Leonardo DiCaprio and Chase Infiniti.
  • Industry tallies put the worldwide box office around $170.3 million, with roughly $63.4 million domestic and $106.9 million international after about a month in theaters.
  • The film continues to shed North American screens and daily grosses have slowed, making a theatrical break-even unlikely according to trade reporting.
  • Recent milestones include surpassing The Matrix Resurrections globally and topping DiCaprio’s Blood Diamond domestically, with Box Office Mojo ranking it among 2025’s top 20 earners.
  • Despite widespread critical praise and awards buzz, multiple reports cite a potential nine-figure theatrical loss, while debate over the film’s racial politics remains part of its cultural reception.
