Lindsay Lohan’s Comeback Hit Quietly Out-Grosses Sydney Sweeney’s Last Four Films Combined

While the box office has been dominated in these last few weeks by major titles such as Zach Cregger’s Weapons, James Gunn’s Superman, and Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps, another film has quietly delivered excellent results. The long-awaited legacy sequel Freakier Friday may not have broken out quite like Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice last year, but it has snuck past the coveted $100 million mark worldwide, and has out-grossed the Mean Girls musical from 2024.

With nearly $90 million domestically and another $55 million from overseas markets, the movie has made a cumulative total of $143 million worldwide. It’s currently among the 20 highest-grossing films at the 2025 box office, having overtaken bigger titles such as Bong Joon-ho’s Mickey 17, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Karate Kid: Legends, The Accountant 2, and the Jason Statham vehicle A Working Man. There is a good chance that the movie passes the coveted $100 million mark domestically before the end of its run.

Freakier Friday is a sequel to the 2003 film Freaky Friday, starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. In these two-plus decades, both stars have had their share of ups and downs. Curtis has won an Oscar and headlined a trilogy of Halloween movies, while Lohan has essentially come out of retirement and re-established herself as a star. She previously headlined three holiday-themed movies for Netflix, but Freakier Friday is her first theatrical film in years.

Sydney Sweeney’s Last Four Films Have Flopped

Remarkably, the movie has out-grossed the combined global haul of the last four films starring Sydney Sweeney, who is currently in the same position that Lohan was in over 20 years ago — an ingénue on the cusp of stardom. She’s drawing Oscar buzz for her performance in the upcoming film Christy, but Sweeney delivered two back-to-back bombs recently: the neo-Western Americana, and the survival thriller Eden. Last year, she was featured in the superhero bomb Madame Web, and the low-key horror film Immaculate. Combined, these four movies have grossed less than $140 million. You can watch Freakier Friday in theaters, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
