After receiving a big thumbs up from critics and audiences, Barbarian director Zach Cregger's latest horror release, Weapons, is busy breaking multiple box office records.
With an impressive global haul of $210.8 million, the film has already outgrossed Disney's 2025 live-action Snow White, reimagining the studio's classic 1937 animated film. What makes this feat even more remarkable is that Weapons was produced on a reported $38 million budget, which is around one-sixth of Snow White's estimated $250+ million cost, as per Collider.
As its strong box office run continues, Weapons has overtaken an iconic Nicole Kidman-led horror film renowned for its legendary climactic revelation. That movie is none other than the 2001 hit The Others, which went on to gross an impressive $210 million globally. Let's see how the two films stack up at the global box office, and can Weapons beat the classic 2001 horror film in terms of earnings-to-budget performance?
