The 2025 comedy reimagining of Anaconda, starring Jack Black and Paul Rudd, has surpassed $100 million in worldwide earnings during its third weekend after a Christmas Day theatrical debut. Directed by Tom Gormican, the Sony film blends meta-humor with Amazon survival peril as friends attempt to remake their favorite movie.
The new Anaconda has slithered past $101.6 million globally as of Friday, with $50.4 million domestic and $51.2 million international. It earned $1.2 million from 3,075 U.S. locations that day and is projected to add $4.6 million over the weekend, lifting the domestic total to $53.7 million.
Building on its Christmas Day 2025 release, the film follows best friends Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd) whose dream project turns deadly with a real giant anaconda. This success underscores appetite for nostalgic horror-comedy amid holiday competition.
The picture updates the 1997 original starring Jennifer Lopez and Ice Cube, highlighting sustained franchise interest.
