Leonardo DiCaprio parties with Mick Jagger after his new movie One Battle After Another scores a $22 million opening weekend
Leonardo DiCaprio enjoyed a night out with Mick Jagger in LA on Sunday after his latest movie One Battle After Another scored a $22 million opening weekend at the box office.
The actor, 50, kept a low profile for the outing as he wore his usual black cap which he paired with a black bomber jacket and a black T-shirt.
He was joined by Rolling Stone Mick, 82, also stepped out in a black bomber jacket, which he layered over a black jumper and shirt.
Mick completed his ensemble with a pair of green slim fit trousers and some white chunky trainers.
One Battle After Another sees Bob (played by Leonardo), who is a washed-up revolutionary living in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off-grid with his spirited and self-reliant daughter, Willa.
When his evil nemesis resurfaces and Willa goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her as both father and daughter battle the consequences of their pasts.

One Battle After Another topped box office charts on its opening weekend, collecting $22.4 million (£16.7 million) from 3,634 North American theaters.
The action-thriller film added another $26.1 million (£19.4 million) internationally for a global tally of $48.5 million (£36 million).
Box office experts have mixed opinions on the initial results, as a low $20 million debut is typically disappointing for a film that cost above $130 million to produce and another $70 million to market.
However, the film, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, is original, meaning it can take longer to build excitement compared to a franchise.
David A. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research told Variety: ‘This movie has a chance of getting to profitability if it lasts long enough in theaters and/or overperforms abroad.
‘It’s going to get a lot of awards nominations, but that’s two to three months away and unlikely to help this immediate release.’
Leonardo previously said he thinks box-office numbers will always be ‘important’.
The actor – who is one of the best-paid movie stars in the world – acknowledges the ever-increasing importance of streaming platforms, but he believes the box-office will always be a significant element of the film industry.

He told Variety: ‘I think there’s just an inundation of content and so much production going on now – which is a good thing, obviously. But I think box office is important because it means people are in the seats going to theatre, going to have that communal experience.’
Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest movie offering One Battle After Another won phenomenal praise and generated Oscar buzz among critics.
The Leonardo DiCaprio-fronted film, an action-thriller based loosely on Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel Vineland, has been greeted with five-star reviews across the board and even deemed ‘the defining film of a generation’.
The Standard’s Nick Howells, awarding the movie five stars, wrote: ‘Anderson has directed the coolest, most consummately masterful movie you’re likely to see all year. And it’s got Oscars glory just oozing out of every frame.’
While Leonardo is typically the draw of blockbusters, Paul Thomas Anderson’s ‘electrifyingly improbable’ work was the topic on critics’ lips, with many echoing back to previous ‘masterpieces’ Boogie Nights, There Will Be Blood and Phantom Thread.
It is not only critics raving about the film but also bookmakers, as Ladbrokes has taken the odds of the movie winning the 2026 Academy Award for Best Picture from 12/1 last week, to a remarkable and rare evens.
One Battle After Another sees Leo playing Bob Ferguson, a dishevelled and distraught revolutionary who lives in a state of stoned paranoia off-grid with his daughter Willa, whom he shares with Teyana Taylor’s character Perfidia.
The film follows Bob as he reconnects with a group of allies on a mission to track down his daughter, with Benicio Del Toro playing his sensei, guiding him through a life without fear.
The high-stakes thriller and black comedy also sees Sean Penn starring as Bob’s evil nemesis, Col. Steven J. Lockjaw, and Regina Hall playing revolutionary Deandra.
Winning praise from the top, Steven Spielberg gushed: ‘What an insane movie, oh my God. There is more action in the first hour of this than every other film you’ve ever directed put together. Everything, it is really incredible…
‘This is such a concoction of things that are so bizarre and at the same time so relevant, that I think have become increasingly more relevant than perhaps even when you finished the screenplay and assembled your cast and crew and began production.’.
In a five star rating from The Daily Mail, Brian Viner writes: ‘DiCaprio’s is not even the most eye-catching performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s irresistibly funny, thunderously exhilarating film.
‘Sean Penn pinches every scene he’s in as an unhinged army officer, driven first by lust and later by loathing, whose downfall, when it comes, is one of the most startling things you will see in the cinema this year.
‘Anderson has already made one of the best pictures of the 21st century, in 2007’s There Will be Blood. This one, loosely inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s novel Vineland, is comparably fine.’
He added: ‘He knows he’s made something special, indeed the next time we hear him might be when he holds aloft an Academy Award.’.
