Mon Nov 03 11:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Mason Thames Soars to Box Office Milestones Over Halloween Weekend

HOLLYWOOD, CA – Eighteen-year-old actor Mason Thames is having a record-breaking year, hitting three major global box office milestones simultaneously over the Halloween weekend. The young star, who had his breakout role in this summer’s live-action remake of “How to Train Your Dragon,” is riding the wave of success from two further 2025 releases: “Black Phone 2” and “Regretting You.”

Despite a sluggish domestic box office weekend, Thames’ films are racking up impressive numbers. “Black Phone 2,” Blumhouse’s sequel to the horror hit, is projected to reach $104 million worldwide, making it only the sixth horror film this year to surpass the $100 million mark.

Meanwhile, “Regretting You,” an adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel, is expected to hit $50 million globally. This achievement will make it the third romance film of 2025 to pass this milestone.

These successes, combined with the $636 million earned by “How to Train Your Dragon,” bring the cumulative gross of Thames’ 2025 films to a staggering $790 million. This impressive figure allows Thames himself to cross the $775 million global milestone for the year, surpassing the earnings of most individual movie releases this year.

Furthermore, 2025 accounts for approximately 83% of Thames’ total career box office earnings, demonstrating his significant impact on the cinematic landscape this year.

Adding to the excitement, “Regretting You” is in contention for the number one spot at the domestic box office during its second weekend. If it succeeds, Thames will join a select group of actors who have had three number one movies in a single year. While Jim Carrey holds the record, Thames’ impressive run solidifies his position as a rising star in Hollywood.

This Halloween weekend, Mason Thames has not only delivered chills and thrills but also proven his undeniable box office draw. The industry is watching closely to see what this talented young actor will accomplish next.
