Gerard Butler’s $100M Sci-Fi Flop Officially Becomes a Streaming Smash Hit

Gerard Butler’s *Greenland 2: Migration* underperformed in cinemas but has since become one of the most-watched titles worldwide on HBO Max. The shift from box-office disappointment to streaming success may revive attention around the film, although the article says a third instalment looks unlikely after the sequel’s theatrical failure.

The film had a reported budget of $90 million and took $45 million at the box office; the article estimates it needed close to $200 million to break even. It stars Butler and Morena Baccarin, and follows the Garrity family as they leave their bunker after a comet strike and search for a new home.
