The Anaconda reboot has achieved a remarkable feat, surpassing the $100 million mark at the global box office. This achievement marks a significant milestone for the franchise, which has been a cult favorite since its inception. But what makes this reboot so special? Let's dive into the details and explore the factors contributing to its success. Anaconda Reboot Surpasses $100 Million Milestone At Global Box Office
The Anaconda reboot, starring Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Steve Zahn, Thandiwe Newton, Daniela Melchior, and Selton Mello, has become the second movie in the franchise to hit this huge box office milestone. The film's success can be attributed to several factors, including its star-studded cast, clever marketing strategies, and a blend of comedy and suspense that appeals to a wide audience. Anaconda Reboot Becomes The Second Movie In The Franchise To Hit Huge Box Office Milestone
According to Deadline, the Anaconda reboot has grossed $50.4 million domestically and $51.2 million internationally, resulting in a worldwide total of $101.6 million. This achievement is particularly notable since it marks the franchise's first movie to reach a $100 million box office milestone since the original in 1997. Made on a reported budget of $45 million, the 2025 Anaconda has not only achieved a franchise milestone for the first time since 1997, but it is also looking to be profitable in its own right.
The original Anaconda movie, which starred Jennifer Lopez and Ice Cube, remains the franchise's highest-earning installment with a global gross of $137 million. However, the 2004 sequel, Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid, made significantly less with a total of $70.3 million worldwide. The other Anaconda movies made between 2004 and 2025 do not have box office totals because they were films made for television and did not have a theatrical release.
The Anaconda reboot has received mixed reviews from critics, with a 51% score on Rotten Tomatoes. ScreenRant's Gregory Nussen writes that it is 'Funny and surprisingly sweet yet ultimately as boneless as a snake.' However, audiences have had a more favorable reaction, praising the ridiculous comedy and leading performances from Black, Rudd, and Zahn. Anaconda also continues the trend of Jack Black movies being box office hits.
In the aftermath of the new Anaconda surpassing $100 million globally, there is more potential for the long-running franchise to continue with further installments, possibly leaning more into comedy than horror as the reboot does, although nothing is confirmed at this time. **Release Date: December 24, 2025
