Bob Odenkirk, best known for Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, is back in action with Nobody 2, the sequel to his 2021 surprise hit Nobody. The new film has opened strongly and has received an impressive 78% critics’ score and 89% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
So far, Nobody 2 has earned $16.6 million in North America and $11.7 million internationally, bringing its worldwide total to $28.2 million. With a reported $25 million budget, the numbers look promising, but the real test lies ahead. The sequel still needs to prove whether it can beat the lifetime collection of the first film.
Nobody (2021) vs Nobody 2 – Box Office Comparison
Here’s a breakdown of how the two films stack up globally, as per Box Office Mojo:
Nobody (2021):
- North America: $27.6 million
- International: $29.9 million
- Worldwide: $57.5 million
Nobody 2 (2025):
- North America: $16.6 million
- International: $11.7 million
- Worldwide: $28.2 million
This means Nobody 2 still needs to earn $29.3 million more to cross the worldwide earnings of Nobody. Considering the film’s solid word-of-mouth, strong reviews, and decent box office legs, the target seems achievable if it continues to perform well in the coming weeks.
The Story Set-Up
The first Nobody introduced us to Hutch Mansell (Bob Odenkirk), a seemingly ordinary family man stuck in routine life. But when his home is invaded by burglars, Hutch reveals his dark past as a trained assassin, unleashing chaos and eventually facing off against powerful Russian criminals.
Nobody 2 picks up four years after those fiery events. This time, Hutch takes a much-needed family vacation to the tourist town of Plummerville. But instead of peace, he crosses paths with a corrupt theme park operator, a crooked sheriff, and a ruthless crime boss—forcing him back into action once again.
Overall Outlook
With its mix of action, humor, and suspense, Nobody 2 has already won audiences over. While its earnings are currently behind the first movie, the positive response suggests it could close the gap soon. If momentum continues, there is a strong chance that Odenkirk’s latest outing will outperform the original’s $57.5 million total worldwide.
