Record-Breaking Weekend at Box Office for Freakier Friday, Leaving Me Thrilled
In the vibrant world of Hollywood, the family-friendly comedy "Freakier Friday" has made a significant impact, surpassing the profit milestone in the industry. The film, which debuted in movie theaters in 2025, has been a crowd favourite, especially among women.
The movie, directed by Nisha Ganatra, stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan in their respective roles, with a notable appearance by Chad Michael Murray as Jake. The storyline, a sequel to the original, has resonated with audiences, leading to a strong opening weekend.
"Freakier Friday" dominated the comedy genre on its release, earning approximately $29 million domestically, significantly outperforming its closest competitors. The film's overall domestic box office earnings in its initial weekend amounted to $29 million, making it the No. 1 comedy in America that weekend.
The film's success is not limited to its domestic performance. As of the weekend of its 2025 release, "Freakier Friday" has a worldwide box office haul of $90 million, with $56 million earned domestically and $32 million internationally.
Industry analysts suggest that movies typically need to earn 2.5 times their budget to break even. With a production budget of about $45 million, "Freakier Friday" is well on its way to profitability. This strong box office performance also opens potential for a future sequel.
As of now, "Freakier Friday" holds the title for the best live-action comedy opening of 2025. The film's producers, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kristen Burr, and Andrew Gunn, have played a significant role in its success.
Jamie Lee Curtis shared the good news about "Freakier Friday"'s success on her Instagram, expressing her gratitude to the fans for their support. The film's box office performance will be updated as the coming weekend plays out, with potential for another solid week at the box office and even more success.
