Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, the action sequel to the 2018 hit, has surpassed $50 million at the global box office as its theatrical run concludes. The film, directed by Christian Gudegast and starring Gerard Butler and O'Shea Jackson Jr., is expected to find further success on streaming platforms. The film has received generally positive reviews, with a 61% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, having already made its debut on digital streaming platforms, recently achieved a new global box office milestone as its theatrical run concluded. This action sequel has proven to be quietly successful at the box office, despite primarily targeting a streaming audience. Directed by Christian Gudegast , the original Den of Thieves film gained a cult following on home video, and Den of Thieves 2, also helmed by Gudegast, is expected to garner similar attention at home.
Together, the two films have amassed an impressive global gross. Den of Thieves concluded its global run with $80 million in 2018. Den of Thieves 2 recently surpassed the $50 million mark worldwide. In total, the two movies have generated $133 million, against reported budgets of $30 million and $40 million, respectively. Given the success of the first film on streaming platforms, it's reasonable to assume that the majority of the sequel's revenue is yet to be earned.Both films star Gerard Butler and O'Shea Jackson Jr. in leading roles, and have drawn comparisons to the films of Michael Mann. Den of Thieves 2 received mostly positive reviews and currently holds a 'fresh' 61% approval rating on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The film's audience score is a slightly more positive 79%. This bodes well for its future success on streaming. For comparison, the first Den of Thieves movie has a 41% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 63% audience score. Butler previously headlined the successful Has Fallen franchise, which has grossed over $500 million globally. A fourth installment is in development, while a third Den of Thieves film has also been hinted at. Notably, 'Den of Thieves 2' is being remembered by trivia enthusiasts as the film that ended Lionsgate's extended dry spell at the domestic box office. The struggling studio hadn't delivered a number one debut since The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes in 2023. Lionsgate followed this success with another number one film just days later, the Mark Wahlberg-led Flight Risk, which has earned $30 million worldwide. The studio had previously struggled to surpass the $250 million mark in combined box office revenue in 2024.Also starring Evin Ahmad, Meadow Williams, and Salvatore Esposito, Den of Thieves 2 is currently available for home viewing.
