Get ready, action junkies! Bob Odenkirk is back as Hutch Mansell in Nobody 2, and the buzz isn’t just about brutal brawls—it’s about whether the unlikely action hero can smash the box office a second time. We’ve checked ALL the latest projections, compared them to the original’s surprise hit run, and dug into what fans (and the industry) are most hyped to know.
“Nobody 2” Box Office Projections: Will Bob Odenkirk Beat His Own Record?
The big question: how much is Nobody 2 expected to rake in when it explodes onto screens August 15, 2025? Here’s the rundown:
-
Opening weekend projections across the board put Nobody 2 at $10 million to $12 million in North America, from around 3,200 theaters.
-
That’s a strong leap up from the first film’s $6.8 million debut back in 2021—a time when movie theaters were still just crawling out of pandemic hibernation.
-
Industry trackers say that’s not enough to dethrone the current chart-busting horror hit Weapons (projected $20M–$22M this weekend), but marks a healthy opening for a mid-budget R-rated sequel in late summer.
Importantly, Nobody 2 carries a $25 million production budget (the original was $16 million)—so, while not a blockbuster, it doesn’t need Marvel-level numbers to break even or score a profit with international and digital sales added to the mix.

How Does “Nobody 2” Stack Up in the Box Office Fight?
For context:
-
The original Nobody made $27 million domestically and a total of $57 million worldwide—even with COVID-era headwinds and tough competition.
-
This time, Odenkirk’s sequel has much more breathing room at the summer box office, with only Weapons and Disney’s Freakier Friday fighting for a chunk of the action crowd.
-
There’s strong early streaming awareness—which could boost long-term earnings even if the opening weekend isn’t a knockout blow.

Reviews call Nobody 2 a rare sequel that levels up on the original, with even more creative carnage (thanks to director Timo Tjahjanto) and zippy chemistry via a cast loaded with new faces like Sharon Stone and Colin Hanks.
