Den of Thieves 2: Pantera got off to a hot start by scoring higher than the original from both critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and the film also took the top spot at the box office by earning $15 million. It experienced a fairly steep decline during its second full weekend in theaters, earning only $6.5 million — a sharp 56% drop — and falling to the #5 spot. The film has stayed around the #5 spot for most of the week, and after earning just under $500,000 on Wednesday, January 22, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera has now grossed $35 million at the global box office. Most of this haul comes from domestic earnings, where Gerard Butler‘s action sequel holds strong at $28.4 million, but it has also collected $6.6 million from international markets.
Den of Thieves 2: Pantera remains the highest-grossing movie of 2025 both domestically and worldwide, but this may not last for long with major blockbusters arriving soon in the form of Captain America: Brave New World and Mickey 17. This past weekend in theaters, Den of Thieves 2 was outpaced by Mufasa: The Lion King, which added another $12 million to its total to reclaim the top spot at the box office despite it being its fifth full weekend in theaters. Another movie entering its fifth full weekend in theaters, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, also out-earned Den of Thieves 2 with $8.6 million this weekend. Newer arrivals like One of Them Days and Wolf Man also finished ahead of Butler’s action thriller with $11.8 million and $10.8 million, respectively.
