How much did Black Phone 2 make? Budget, Revenue and Profit Analysis

Black Phone 2 has earned over $123 million worldwide, making it one of the most profitable horror films of 2025.

Scott Derrickson’s Black Phone 2 has emerged as a box office juggernaut, raking in $123 million globally and securing its spot as the 30th highest-grossing film of the year. With a lean production budget of $30 million, the film has delivered a remarkable return on investment, generating over $90 million in profit when marketing and distribution costs are factored in.

Released in October 2025, the supernatural sequel opened with a robust $27.3 million domestic debut, signaling strong audience interest despite a sluggish Halloween weekend. It went on to earn $72 million domestically and $51 million internationally, with notable performances in the UK and Spain.

Black Phone 2 not only outperformed several major releases like Karate Kid: Legends and Accountant 2, but also surpassed the domestic earnings of cult horror classics such as 28 Years Later and I Know What You Did Last Summer. It now ranks among the top five highest-grossing horror films of 2025, joining titles like The Conjuring: Last Rites, Sinners, and Final Destination: Bloodlines.

This success underscores the enduring appeal of horror cinema and the strength of Blumhouse’s brand. Ethan Hawke’s chilling return, combined with Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw’s performances, helped solidify the film’s reputation as a worthy sequel that expands the franchise’s mythology while delivering scares that resonate across global audiences.
