Iron Lung Worldwide Box Office: Iron Lung, the horror film created by YouTuber Markiplier (Mark Fischbach), is turning into one of the biggest surprise successes of 2026. Released on January 29, the low-budget horror thriller has already earned about $43.8 million worldwide against a reported $3 million budget, making it one of the most profitable movies of the year so far.
The film has collected nearly $34.8 million in North America, while international markets have added around $9 million, with strong contributions from the UK and Australia. Thanks to positive audience reactions and strong word of mouth, the movie continues to hold steady at the box office despite fresh competition.
Interestingly, Iron Lung has now outperformed Bugonia, the 2025 sci-fi horror starring Emma Stone and directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. Bugonia earned around $39.4 million globally despite receiving multiple Academy Award nominations, showing how strong Iron Lung’s commercial run has been.
The film follows a convict exploring a mysterious blood ocean on a desolate moon, blending psychological horror with sci-fi elements. While critics gave it mixed reviews, audience ratings remain high, helping sustain its momentum. With its impressive earnings already crossing 14 times its budget, Iron Lung stands as a major indie horror success story.
