Gerard Butler’s New Action Movie Passes Major Domestic Box Office Milestone After Just Three Weeks In Theaters

Written and directed by Christian Gudegast, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera is the follow-up to the 2018 action crime film, starring Butler (Big Nick) and O’Shea Jackson Jr (Donnie Wilson). The two stars reprised their roles for the follow-up, which Butler also produced. The sequel sees Big Nick follow Donnie to Europe to team up with him for a robbery with even bigger stakes. Released on January 10, 2025, in the United States, the film will be looking to surpass the original movie’s total of $80.5 million, which would be about $100 million after accounting for inflation.Butler has appeared in multiple blockbuster productions through the years, including the Has Fallen movie franchise, and disaster movies such as Geostorm. He has appeared in a slew of box office successes, with his highest-grossing movies being the animated How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, as well as 300, Tomorrow Never Dies, Geostorm, and The Ugly Truth. Butler has begun producing many of his movies, and 2025 looks set to be an especially big year for Butler. He has three films scheduled for release, while an action sequel is currently making waves at the box office.Gerard Butler has enjoyed a strong career in Hollywood, and his most recent release has only made him more prominent. The actor first rose to prominence with the role of Count Dracula in the vampire film Dracula 2000. Later, leading roles in the movies The Phantom of the Opera (2004) and P.S. I Love You (2007) helped establish him as a romantic lead. Yet, he truly earned global recognition by playing King Leonidas in Zack Snyder’s historical action epic 300. This kick-started Butler’s status as an action star and a nearly two-decade career as an icon of the genre.Per reports in Deadline, the movie has closed in on an important domestic milestone, passing the $30 million mark at the domestic box office. The movie has taken a total of $31.6 million domestically, and hopes will be high that it can cross the $50 million mark before it runs out of steam. That is enough to keep pace with the original movie’s run, so it is progressing in a relatively strong fashion in a slow month. Still, these figures do not account for inflation, which has risen significantly in the years since 2018.
