Set to beat Borderlands worldwide
Released in 2024, Borderlands was based on the video game series of the same name. It featured an ensemble cast, with two-time Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett in the lead role, alongside Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Edgar Ramirez, Ariana Greenblatt, Florian Munteanu, Gina Gershon, and Jamie Lee Curtis in supporting roles. The video game adaptation was made on a reported budget of $115 million and became a box-office flop.
For the unversed, Borderlands grossed $33.0 million worldwide. Iron Lung is around $10 million away from surpassing the global haul of Borderlands. When Iron Lung surpasses the flop game adaptation, it would mark a notable box-office upset, with a smaller genre film outperforming a star-driven game adaptation on the global stage. For the record, Markiplier’s film was made on a budget of $3 million and is on track to surpass a film with over 3733% more production cost.
Mark Fischbach starrer Iron Lung was released on January 30.
