Deadline:
UPDATE, SUNDAY 7:53AM: It might be a rainy day in Hollywood this morning, but not on the Fox lot: the studio is reporting a 3-day estimate of $40.4M for EuropaCorp’s Taken 3, which if that number holds into tomorrow, will make the film the second highest January bow of all-time after last year’s Ride Along ($41.5M) and beating 2008’s Cloverfield ($40.06M). Numbers are still rolling in.
Why did Taken 3 do so well? Essentially, look around the marketplace, and in terms of new mass-appealing action films, well, Taken 3 was fullfilling a need. The success of Taken 3 further underscores the strength of this Liam Neeson action franchise, and how moviegoers distinguish it from the actor’s other bang bang films.
Nekki has announced that the forthcoming gun fu game, SPINE, will receive a movie adaptation to expand the franchise.
Anthracite Review: This Netflix thriller makes us go down several engaging roads and the twists and turns are delicious.
Stolen Review: Elle Márjá Eira makes an attempt at creating a story revolving Sámi people of Sweden.
Not bad and it is suppose to be the end of the story or maybe he'll come back with another Taken a few years from now......lol
I can't believe people still go to see Taken movies. I guess it wouldn't be January without a Liam Neeson action vehicle. Me, I'll just wait for A Walk Along The Tombstones to come out on DVD, supposed to be underrated.
I thought sniper was a really good film
