Nobody 2 (2025): Box Office Carnage, Critical Verdict & Where to Watch Bob Odenkirk’s Explosive Return

Bob Odenkirk is back in action—and chaos follows close behind. Nobody 2 (2025), directed by Timo Tjahjanto and written by Derek Kolstad and Aaron Rabin, picks up the bloody trail of Hutch Mansell, the unlikely suburban dad turned reluctant assassin. With bigger set pieces, a nastier crime syndicate, and Hutch once again fighting to balance family and fury, this sequel proves that you can’t bury a man who was born for violence.

Released in U.S. theaters on August 15, 2025, the film has already made waves at the global box office while critics and audiences clash over its standing compared to the first film.

🎬 Box Office Breakdown

• Opening Weekend (Domestic): $9.2 million

• First Day: $3.8 million (including $1.3 million from Thursday previews)

• Domestic Total (U.S. & Canada): $18 million

• International Gross: $13 million

• Worldwide Box Office (as of August 27, 2025): $31 million

• Budget: $25 million

While the sequel opened below expectations (Universal projected $10–12 million), Hutch Mansell’s brutal charm kept momentum steady, already pushing the film into profitability within its first two weeks.

As Hutch himself growls in the film, “Wherever you go, there you are.” And clearly, the audience went straight back to theaters for round two.

📝 Reviews: Critics & Fans Speak

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film sits at 78% Fresh, with critics praising Odenkirk’s dedication to his grizzled anti-hero role, even as some found the family-vacation-turned-warzone storyline a little over the top.

• Rotten Tomatoes: 78% (179 reviews)

• Metacritic: 59/100 (“Mixed or Average”)

• CinemaScore: B+

• PostTrak Audience Score: 4/5 ⭐ (62% would “definitely recommend”)

Critics’ Consensus: "While frumpy action-hero Hutch Mansell tries to enjoy a nice vacation, Bob Odenkirk works overtime to make Nobody 2 a diverting sequel that measures up admirably to the original."

Fans, meanwhile, love the chaos, the brutal set pieces, and Sharon Stone’s chilling turn as crime boss Lendina—with many calling it “John Wick at a carnival.”

🎭 The Cast That Brings the Carnage

• Bob Odenkirk as Hutch Mansell

• Connie Nielsen as Becca Mansell

• RZA as Harry Mansell

• Christopher Lloyd as David Mansell

• Sharon Stone as Lendina

• John Ortiz as Wyatt Martin

• Colin Hanks as Abel

And of course, plenty of goons who underestimate Hutch and don’t live long enough to regret it.

📺 Where to Watch Nobody 2 After Theaters

Currently, Nobody 2 is only available in theaters through Universal Pictures. But if history is any guide, here’s what to expect:

• Peacock (Streaming, U.S.): Since Universal films typically land on Peacock around 45–60 days after theatrical release, Nobody 2 will likely begin streaming by October 2025.

• VOD (Amazon, Apple TV, Google Play, Vudu): Digital rentals and purchases should roll out within 2–3 months of release.

• Blu-ray & 4K UHD: Expected in late November or December 2025, just in time for holiday carnage marathons.

So if you can’t catch Hutch’s latest rampage on the big screen, you won’t have to wait long before it explodes onto streaming and home release.

🔥 Final Verdict

Nobody 2 may not have blown the box office doors off in its opening, but it’s already clawed past its budget, proving Hutch Mansell still has plenty of fight left in him. With Bob Odenkirk delivering a gritty, bone-crunching performance and Sharon Stone raising the stakes as a new villain, this sequel balances chaos, comedy, and carnage in true Jarmusch-meets-Kolstad fashion.

As Hutch himself mutters mid-battle: “I tried to take a break… but trouble always finds me.”

Looks like audiences will be happy if that trouble returns for Nobody 3.
