It’s been over 25 years since the immensely popular Meet the Parents franchise kicked off with the first installment, which was released in 2000. That film received an impressive 85% critics’ score and a 79% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It also turned out to be a big box office hit, and its critical and commercial success spawned two sequels, Meet the Fockers (2004) and Little Fockers (2010). The combined worldwide gross of the three films is over $1.16 billion.
Once again, Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller will be reprising their roles in the fourth installment in the franchise, titled Focker-in-Law, which is set to hit the big screen on November 25, 2026. It remains to be seen whether the upcoming sequel can earn enough to take the franchise past the $1.5 billion global mark.
Now, let’s take a look at the box office performance of the first three films in the Meet the Parents franchise and find out which one generated the biggest profit beyond its estimated theatrical break-even point.
