After outgrossing Stanley Kubrick’s iconic horror classic, The Shining, in worldwide earnings, Francis Lawrence’s critically acclaimed dystopian thriller, The Long Walk, is now inching towards crossing the $50 million milestone at the global box office. With a current global haul of $48.6 million, the film is expected to hit this target in the coming days.
Recently, The Long Walk surpassed the global earnings of several popular 2025 releases, including Black Bag, Nobody 2, and Bring Her Back, securing a spot among the top 50 highest-grossing titles of the year (Box Office Mojo). Now, the hard-hitting survival thriller looks poised to overtake an Oscar-winning war action drama directed by Kathryn Bigelow. We’re talking about the 2008 film, The Hurt Locker. Here’s how much The Long Walk needs to earn more to outgross it at the global box office.
