What Are The Bad Guys 2’s Box Office Predictions?

The Bad Guys 2 is nearly here, and the early box office predictions are already out. With the strong performance of the previous movie, The Bad Guys 2 will have a good chance of having a strong opening. But is that enough to ensure a successful haul?

How much is The Bad Guys 2 predicted to make at the box office?

Box Office Pro predicts that The Bad Guys 2 will open with an opening weekend ranging from $25 million to $35 million. Industry analysts consider this strong for an animated sequel. However, they note that the numbers might have climbed higher with a different release window.

The Bad Guys had a $23.9 million domestic opening and a $97.4 million domestic total. The studio released it in April, which is typically a favorable month for animated films. Changing release schedules has not worked well for many films in the past, and this strategy could pose a risk for The Bad Guys 2. However, an earlier release would have meant competing with the highly anticipated Minecraft movie. The current release window offers relatively less competition.

One factor that could benefit the upcoming Universal Pictures release is its placement in relation to other animated releases. It will be the first animated film to hit theaters since Pixar’s Elio.

The movie was made on a budget of $80 million and will require a significant haul to be considered profitable.

The Bad Guys 2 features an ensemble voice cast that includes Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Craig Robinson, Anthony Ramos, Awkwafina, Zazie Beetz, Richard Ayoade, Lilly Singh, and Alex Borstein, among others.

The synopsis for the movie reads, “The Bad Guys 2 follows the crackerjack criminal crew of animal outlaws who are struggling to find trust and acceptance in their newly minted lives as Good Guys. However, they’re pulled out of retirement and forced to do ‘one last job’ by an all-female squad of criminals.”

The Bad Guys 2 will premiere on August 1, 2025. Stay tuned for more updates.
