Now You See Me: Now You Don’t won the North American box office race for November 14–16, 2025, with an estimated $21.3 million in ticket sales. The Running Man placed second with an estimated $17 million, according to figures attributed to Comscore by The Associated Press.
How the two films compared
The figures below are opening-period results reported by the AP on November 16, 2025—not lifetime grosses. The North American weekend estimates cover the United States and Canada.
| Film | Estimated North American weekend | Reported worldwide opening |
|---|---|---|
| Now You See Me: Now You Don’t | $21.3 million | $75.5 million, including 64 international territories |
| The Running Man | $17 million | $28.2 million |
The AP described the domestic figures as estimates, with final figures expected Monday, November 17. Its worldwide figures refer to the films’ opening period, not their eventual worldwide totals.
Why the result drew attention
A returning franchise edged out a new adaptation
Now You See Me: Now You Don’t is the third film in the series. The returning Four Horsemen are joined by three younger magicians. The Running Man adapts Stephen King’s novel, first published in 1982, and is the story’s second film adaptation, the AP reported.

The win surprised its distributor
Kevin Grayson, president of worldwide distribution for Lionsgate’s motion picture group, told the AP on Sunday: “Honestly, I didn’t see us being number one for the weekend about 10 days ago.”
What the audience figures say
PostTrak polling, as relayed by the AP, found that women made up 54% of ticket buyers for Now You See Me: Now You Don’t and 37% for The Running Man. These are audience-composition figures, not a measure of either film’s total attendance or overall popularity.
