Jack Black–Paul Rudd Comedy Anaconda

Sony Pictures’ comedy-adventure Anaconda (2025) has passed $110 million at the global box office, marking a solid holiday success despite mixed reviews from critics.

The film has earned $54.3 million in North America and $55.8 million internationally, bringing its worldwide total to $110.1 million as of January 11, 2026. With a reported production budget of $45 million, the movie is on track to turn a profit.

Released on Christmas Day 2025, Anaconda stars Jack Black and Paul Rudd as two longtime friends who reunite to remake their favorite childhood movie, the 1997 cult classic Anaconda. Their project goes off the rails when they encounter a real giant snake in the Amazon rainforest.

Audiences have responded positively to the film’s humor and chemistry between its leads. Anaconda holds a 76% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and a B CinemaScore, with viewers praising its slapstick comedy and friendship themes. Strong performances from the supporting cast have also helped boost word of mouth.

Critical response has been more divided. The film currently sits at 51% on Rotten Tomatoes, with some reviewers pointing to uneven pacing, while still praising the charm of its lead actors.

Despite a crowded holiday release schedule, Anaconda has shown steady box office performance and limited week-to-week drops. It is now the second-highest-grossing film in the franchise after the original 1997 release.

The film remains in theaters and has sparked early talk of possible follow-ups that could lean further into its comedy-driven approach.
