The Accountant 2’s New Box Office Milestone Pushes It Onto Ben Affleck’s All-Time Highest-Grossing Movie Chart

The Accountant 2 has pᴀssed a domestic box office milestone and landed on a major chart at the same time. The new movie is a sequel to Ben Affleck’s 2016 action-thriller and features the return of his autistic accountant character Christian Wolff alongside Jon Bernthal as his brother Braxton, Cynthia Addai-Robinson as FinCEN Deputy Director Marybeth Medina, and J. K. Simmons as ex-FinCEN director Raymond King. The Accountant 2 release kicked off with an opening weekend that grossed $24.5 million, landing at No. 3 for the weekend behind the Revenge of the Sith re-release and the sophomore weekend of Sinners.

Per ᴅᴇᴀᴅline, as of Saturday morning, The Accountant 2 is projected to gross a 3-day total of $9.8 million by the end of its sophomore weekend at the domestic box office. This total, which sees it dropping roughly 60%, will push the movie’s cumulative domestic gross to $41.4 million, making it the 10th 2025 release so far to pᴀss the $40 million domestic milestone.

According to The Numbers‘ chart of the star’s box office performance throughout his career, this means that the movie is set to nab a place among Affleck’s highest-grossing movies all time at the domestic box office, outgrossing more than two dozen other тιтles and stealing the No. 20 slot from 2009’s State of Play ($37 million).

It Could Climb A Few More Slots

By pᴀssing this major domestic milestone, The Accountant 2 has already outgrossed a number of major Ben Affleck movies, including 2007’s Smokin’ Aces ($35.7 million), 1993’s Dazed and Confused ($8.3 million), 2021’s The Last Duel ($10.8 million), 1992’s School Ties ($14.7 million), and 2004’s Jersey Girl ($25.3 million). It may also continue to climb, though it will need to gross an additional $11.1 million in order to surpᴀss the next-highest movie on the chart, which is 2023’s Air ($52.5 million). Below, see a breakdown of the five тιтles ahead of the new release on the chart:

тιтle

Domestic Box Office

Changing Lanes (2002)

$66.8 million

Field of Dreams (1989 – extra role)

$64.5 million

Paycheck (2003)

$53.8 million

Forces of Nature (1999)

$52.9 million

Air (2023)

$52.5 million

The Accountant 2

$41.4 million (est.)

It ultimately seems entirely unlikely that 2025’s The Accountant 2 will be able to break into the Top 10, which ranges from 2003’s Daredevil ($102.5 million) at No. 10 to 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ($330.4 million) at No. 1. To compare, Daredevil had already made $69.5 million at the domestic box office by the end of its sophomore weekend, while Batman v Superman had made $260.4 million.
