We’re just weeks away from one of the year’s most anticipated blockbusters as Gladiator II hits theaters on November 22! Ridley Scott, the legendary director of the original, returns with a stellar cast including Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen, and the iconic Denzel Washington. Before the release of Gladiator II, a third installment is already in early development stages! With high expectations come unique betting opportunities, and we’re breaking down what you can wager on as opening weekend approaches.

🎟 US Opening Weekend Gross: Gladiator 2

Over $80.5 Million -120
Under $80.5 Million -120

When Gladiator premiered in May 2000, it brought in $34.8 million for its opening weekend, which is approximately $63.7 million in today’s dollars. With Gladiator II releasing right before Thanksgiving, expectations are high, especially as moviegoers seek to see the action unfold before the holiday rush!

⚔️ Number of Deaths in the First 10 Minutes

Zero +140
1-10 +200
11+ +180

The original Gladiator opened with an intense battle scene led by Maximus. While it’s likely that Gladiator 2 will deliver a similarly action-packed start, the death count could vary. Betting on 1-10 deaths may provide good value, with a bigger, bloodier scene potentially reserved for later in the film.

🐎 First Animal Shown in the Movie (Title Sequence Excluded)

Horse -105
Elephant +200
Lion +300
Bear +380
Leopard +380
Bison/Auroch +500

Betting on the first animal appearance requires some scene speculation. Gladiator began outdoors, but the sequel might switch it up—could it pick up at the Colosseum, where the first film left off? With so many possibilities, a small wager is recommended for this fun prop bet!
