Jason Statham continues to be a significant player in the realm of action films, despite his recent release receiving mixed reactions. The moniker “action cinema” is almost interchangeable with the name Jason Statham, due to the tough, gruff, and frequently violent characters he portrays. The English actor’s repertoire of action movies boasts the Transporter series, which cemented his status as an action hero, followed by Crank, The Mechanic films, The Meg films, The Expendables series, the Fast & Furious franchise, including its Hobbs & Shaw spinoff.
Over the past few years, Jason Statham hasn’t stopped delivering solo action-thrillers, such as “Wrath of Man” in 2021 and “Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre” in 2023, both directed by Guy Ritchie. Their professional relationship dates back to their collaboration on “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” in 1998 and “Snatch” in 2000, which were box office hits that boosted Statham’s career. Recently, they have collaborated again on a new action-thriller.
A Working Man Hits A Crucial Milestone At The Global Box Office
Jason Statham’s Action Thriller Has Been In Theaters For Nearly A Month
As a movie critic, I am thrilled to report that “A Working Man,” directed by the talented David Ayer and co-written with Sylvester Stallone from the 2014 novel “Levon’s Trade,” has reached a significant milestone at the global box office after just about a month in theaters. This action-packed thriller sees Jason Statham stepping into the role of an ex-marine who, now working as a construction worker, finds himself needing to dust off his combat skills to save his boss’ abducted daughter and uncover a conspiracy involving corrupt government officials and the heinous crime of human trafficking. The stellar cast also features Jason Flemyng, Merab Ninidze, Maximilian Osinski, Michael Peña, and David Harbour.
As of now, according to “The Numbers”, the film titled “A Working Man” has amassed a global box office revenue of $86 million. Given its production budget of $40 million, it’s moving towards breaking even. Its earnings are divided: $35 million in the domestic market and $51 million from international sales.
What A Working Man’s Box Office Milestone Means For The Movie
It’s Getting Into Break-Even Territory
Given that a movie typically needs to earn more than twice its production cost, including marketing expenses and other fees, reaching the current box office milestone for “A Working Man” indicates it’s now at the break-even point. Though this is preferable to incurring losses, it represents a substantial drop compared to Jason Statham and David Ayer’s previous project, “The Beekeeper,” which grossed $153 million on a $40 million budget. Nonetheless, even with “A Working Man’s” more modest earnings, Jason Statham is still expected to maintain his status as a consistent box office draw globally.
