As of October 8, 2026, Box Office Mojo’s 2026 worldwide chart lists Markiplier’s Iron Lung at $50,036,487, ahead of Digger at $20 million and Melania at $16,661,439. Here, “jumps past” means higher cumulative worldwide box-office gross on that chart—not a larger opening weekend, domestic total, audience, or profit.
How the three films compare worldwide
| Film | Worldwide gross on Box Office Mojo’s 2026 chart |
|---|---|
| Iron Lung | $50,036,487 |
| Digger | $20 million |
| Melania | $16,661,439 |
The figures are the worldwide totals displayed on Box Office Mojo’s 2026 Worldwide Box Office chart, checked October 8, 2026. On that snapshot, Iron Lung is ahead of Digger by about $30 million and of Melania by about $33.4 million. The chart’s totals can be revised, so these are dated comparisons rather than guaranteed final figures.
What “passed” does—and does not—mean
This is a comparison of cumulative worldwide grosses. It does not establish that Iron Lung had a bigger opening weekend, earned more in the United States alone, drew a larger audience, or generated more profit. Those are different measures, and the worldwide chart does not answer them.
Why the gross figures do not show profit
The Numbers lists Iron Lung’s production budget as $3 million, a database-reported figure rather than audited financial disclosure. Its listing gives a U.S. release date of January 30, 2026, and a May 31, 2026 video release through YouTube. Those details provide context for the film’s run, but subtracting the reported budget from worldwide gross would not produce a profit figure.

Box-office gross is not the same as money retained by a film’s producers. The available figures do not provide a complete accounting of marketing, distribution, financing, exhibitor shares, or net receipts. The Numbers’ *Iron Lung* box-office and financial listing reports the budget, not a complete profit ledger.

A low chart position by itself does not prove a movie disappointed: that judgment depends on expectations and costs as well as revenue. The Associated Press reported on October 4, 2026, that Digger had a rough opening and cost at least $125 million to make. That gives context for calling it a costly gamble, but it does not establish the film’s final loss or profitability.
Quick Recap
How to read the comparison
- Use the same measure: The three figures above are worldwide grosses from the same chart, not a mix of domestic and global totals.
- Keep the date attached: Box-office databases may update their displayed totals, so the comparison reflects the October 8, 2026 lookup.
- Separate revenue from returns: A production-budget figure and a box-office gross are not enough to calculate what a film earned after costs and revenue sharing.
