J-Hope’s Hope on the Stage live viewing earns $4.1 million globally, breaking into the U.S. box … More
J-Hope has spent 2025 releasing solo smash after solo smash, with only short breaks in between his drops. He has scored several new Hot 100 hits in just the past few months, and he has a new tune coming soon — one that will likely become a charting success as well.
The BTS singer and rapper hasn’t limited himself to streaming platforms and digital download storefronts when looking for commercial success. The South Korean musician recently appeared in cinemas around the world with a one-night-only event — one that helped him secure one of the top theatrical wins at the box office.
J-Hope’s Box Office Success
The BTS superstar recently released his film J-Hope Tour: ‘Hope on the Stage’ in Japan – Live Viewing. The one-night-only event brought fans of the singer-songwriter and rapper together in theaters around the globe to watch live as he performed from Osaka during one of the final dates of his solo trek, the Hope on the Stage Tour.
Despite the fact that the live viewing took place during just one evening, it still managed to bring in an impressive sum at the box office and stand out as a top performer.
Opening Weekend Total
According to Box Office Mojo, J-Hope’s film earned just under $940,000 at the box office in the U.S. alone. That figure is enough for the movie to land at No. 10 on the list of the highest-grossing films in America during the weekend of May 30 through June 1.
When looking globally, the live viewing brought in just over $4.1 million. More than three-quarters of that figure coming from territories outside the U.S.
J-Hope Lands a Top 10 Winner
J-Hope claims the third loftiest debut on the ranking of the top-grossing films in America during that weekend. He lands behind new arrivals Karate Kid: Legends and Bring Her Back, which brought in $20.3 million and $7 million, respectively.
The weekend’s grosses were still dominated by the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch, which led the charge for a second consecutive frame with nearly $62 million. The last installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise holds steady at No. 2 with $27.2 million.
J-Hope’s Hot 100 Success
A top-grossing film is just another feather in J-Hope’s cap, proving that 2025 is a huge year for him. He has already accrued three Hot 100 hits, upping his career total considerably with “LV Bag” alongside Don Toliver, Speedy, and Pharrell Williams, “Sweet Dreams” with Miguel and his own “Mona Lisa” — all of which spent time on the tally.
Later in June, he will drop “Killing It Girl” featuring rapper GloRilla, which will almost certainly become a hit across a variety of Billboard rankings, especially those focused on hip-hop.
