Smurfs, the live-action animated musical comedy starring Rihanna because the voice of Smurfette, hit U.S. theaters on July 18, 2025. Nevertheless, the reboot didn’t impress most critics and received lukewarm responses from many moviegoers. Following an underwhelming $11 million debut (the franchise’s lowest), the film’s overall box office performance has been disappointing, to say the least. Because of this, Smurfs currently trails behind the 2011 film The Smurfs by a staggering 88% in global box office earnings.
Smurfs (2025) Vs. The Smurfs (2011) & The Smurfs 2 (2013) – Box Office Comparison
Until now, the 2025 Smurfs reboot has collected over $69 million at the worldwide box office. Here’s the film’s worldwide box office breakdown, based on Box Office Mojo.
Smurfs (2025) Box Office Summary
- North America- $22.9 million
- International – $46.3 million
- Worldwide – $69.2 million
As compared, the 2011 film The Smurfs grossed roughly $563.7 million worldwide, while its 2013 sequel, The Smurfs 2, earned around $347.5 million globally. Which means the newest reboot is currently trailing the primary film by about 88% and the second by around 80%. And given its current performance and fierce competition from recent theatrical releases, there’s little likelihood it is going to outgross either of the previous two movies in the approaching weeks.

Directed by Chris Miller, the film follows the story of Papa Smurf (voiced by John Goodman), who’s abducted by dark wizards Gargamel and Razamel. In response, Smurfette (voiced by Rihanna) leads her fellow Smurfs on a daring rescue mission beyond their magical village.
