(Photo Credit \u2013 Instagram)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Armed with an impressive $259.5 million global haul (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/release\/rl3882385409\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Box Office Mojo<\/a>), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/box-office\/weapons-north-america-box-office-zach-creggers-horror-hit-surges-51-daily-earnings-beating-freakier-fridays-worldwide-collection\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Zach Cregger\u2019<\/a>s critically acclaimed horror hit Weapons currently stands as this year\u2019s 16th highest-grossing movie overall and the 4th highest-grossing horror film of 2025. Despite its digital availability and having run in theaters for over five weeks, Weapons is still going strong at the global box office.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recently, it surpassed several past hits, including Julia Roberts\u2019 Erin Brockovich (2000), M. Night Shyamalan\u2019s The Village (2004), Jordan Peele\u2019s Us (2019), and Chris Hemsworth\u2019s Men in Black: International (2019). It also overtook the collection of horror blockbuster Annabelle (2014), which earned $257.5 million worldwide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And now, Weapons is just inches away from outgrossing an overlooked Western action film starring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/hollywood-news\/when-johnny-depp-took-home-50-of-worldwide-box-office-earnings-while-amber-heard-99-lesser-salary-for-the-rum-diary-was-literally-peanuts\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Johnny Depp<\/a> and Armie Hammer, The Lone Ranger (2013). Here\u2019s how much more Barbarian director\u2019s latest horror venture, Weapons, needs to hit this milestone.<\/p>\n<p>Weapons vs. The Lone Ranger \u2013 Box Office Comparison<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here\u2019s the current box office breakdown of the two films, according to data from Box Office Mojo:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Weapons \u2013 Box Office Summary<\/p>\n<p>Domestic: $147.4 million<br \/>\nInternational: $112.1 million<br \/>\nWorldwide: $259.5 million<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Lone Ranger \u2013 Box Office Summary<\/p>\n<p>Domestic: $89.3 million<br \/>\nInternational: $171.2 million<br \/>\nWorldwide: $260.5 million<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As the figures show, Weapons currently trails The Lone Ranger by just under $1 million at the global box office. At its current pace, it is expected to outgross it in a couple of days or even sooner.<\/p>\n<p>How Much Profit Have Weapons Made At The Box Office So Far?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Made on an estimated production budget of $38 million, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/movie\/weapons\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Weapons<\/a> has earned $259.6 million worldwide. Using the 2.5x multiplier rule, the film needed around $95 million to break even and start turning a profit. As of now, it has already made an impressive profit of roughly $165 million, and its box office run is far from over. It needs an additional $35 million to reach the $200 million profit mark by the end of its ongoing theatrical run, and it remains to be seen if it can achieve this target.<\/p>\n<p>What Is Weapons About?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The mystery horror film is set in a quiet American town where an unthinkable event shocks everyone. All but one child from Justine Gandy\u2019s class mysteriously vanished one night, and they never returned. As panic and fear spread, Justine and the rest of the residents must uncover the truth behind the terrifying mass disappearance. Is it a sinister force, a human threat, or something even more unsettling?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stay tuned to Koimoi for more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/category\/box-office\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">box office updates<\/a> and stories!<\/p>\n<p>Must Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/box-office\/demon-slayer-infinity-castle-north-america-box-office-day-3-creates-history-by-registering-biggest-debut-for-any-international-film\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle North America Box Office Day 3: Creates History By Registering Biggest Debut For Any International Film!<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Follow Us: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/koimoidotcom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/koimoi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Koimoi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Koimoi4Bollywood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">YouTube<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/s\/CBIwo7yAqUE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Google News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>                                            <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Which Johnny Depp Will Weapons Take Over After Surpassing This Major Horror Film?
