With a current worldwide total of $664.4 million, the sequel is ahead of the 2006 film’s $326.6 million global earnings, as per Box Office Mojo, by a significant margin of $337.8 million. However, since the first film was made on a $35 million budget, it earned 9.3x its budget, compared to the sequel’s 6.6x return over its $100 million budget.
