Am I Racist reached the $9 million mark in its second weekend after taking in over $1.5 million at the box office. The political doc is the highest-grossing documentary film of 2024, behind Jesus Thirst, which took in $2.3 million.
Matt Walsh took to X to celebrate the mockumentary that seeks to deride the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) program as a “brainwashing” scheme. Walsh said, “After our second weekend: ‘Am I Racist?’ remains in the box office top 10, it’s the top-grossing documentary of the year, top 5 political docs in the last decade, earned 3x its production budget, and our total gross moves us into the top 40 for all docs, all time.”

Walsh claimed the $9.2 million total gross pushed the documentary into the top 40 at the domestic box office. This is untrue. According to The Numbers, Am I Racist ranks at no. 66 in the highest-grossing documentaries of all time. However, it is the highest-grossing documentary of 2024.
