Even if it bombs, One Battle After Another is the movie Hollywood needs right now

One Battle After Another opened in theaters this past Friday (26 Sept) and easily topped the weekend box office. Leonardo DiCaprio’s film about a washed-up revolutionary took home over $48 million (as per The Numbers)—making it Warner Bros.’ eighth movie in 2025 to open above the magic $40 million mark. It’s a record-breaking year for Warner Bros. at a time when fewer people than ever are going to the cinema.
