Ten acclaimed films were in contention for the Best Picture Oscar at the 98th Academy Awards. The nominees included Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme, Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, Kleber Mendonça Filho’s The Secret Agent, Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, Joseph Kosinski’s F1, and Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet. However, the top honor ultimately went to Paul Thomas Anderson’s widely admired action thriller One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead. Since not every Best Picture winner has historically been a massive box office success, it’s worth analyzing where One Battle After Another’s worldwide earnings stand among the last ten Best Picture winners.
Last 10 Best Picture Oscar Winners – Worldwide Box Office Earnings
Here’s a ranked look at the worldwide box office performance of the last ten Best Picture winners at the Academy Awards (2017-2026), including One Battle After Another. The figures below are based on data from Box Office Mojo:
- Oppenheimer (2024 Oscar Winner): $975.8 million
- Green Book (2019 Oscar Winner): $321.8 million
- Parasite (2020 Oscar Winner): $262.6 million
- One Battle After Another (2026 Oscar Winner): $209.6 million
- The Shape of Water (2018 Oscar Winner): $195.2 million
- Everything Everywhere All at Once (2023 Oscar Winner): $147.9 million
- Moonlight (2017 Oscar Winner): $67 million
- Anora (2025 Oscar Winner): $57.4 million
- Nomadland (2021 Oscar Winner): $39.5 million
- CODA (2022 Oscar Winner): $1.9 million
When these films are ranked by worldwide box office earnings, One Battle After Another lands among the top five, outperforming several recent Best Picture Oscar winners such as CODA, Nomadland, Anora, and Everything Everywhere All at Once. Its current global total of $209.6 million places it slightly ahead of Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water.
However, the film still trails several major commercial successes among Best Picture winners, including Green Book and Parasite. And leading the chart by a wide margin is Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, which became a rare phenomenon by combining critical acclaim, awards success, and a massive $975.8 million worldwide box office haul.
Overall, the above numbers indicate an interesting trend: while many Best Picture winners receive strong critical acclaim, only a handful become massive global box-office hits. Although One Battle After Another is one of the few Best Picture Oscar winners that crossed the $200 million mark, it could not match the extraordinary commercial heights reached by Oppenheimer.
