Surpasses Karate Kid: Legends to enter 2025’s top 30 grossers worldwide
Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio starrer Karate Kid: Legends was released in May this year and collected $117.03 million in its global run.

The Black Phone sequel is the new occupant of that rank until a new movie takes its place, continuing the cycle.
To break into the top 20, Black Phone 2 will have to beat Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc. It has collected $157.8 million at the worldwide box office so far and is still in the process of counting. At this point, Ethan Hawke’s film needs more than $30 million to beat the Chainsaw Man movie.
