Equalizer was solid! Denzel is a BAMF, but you already knew that. Lots of smiles walking out, one lady was raving, she loved the violence. It was also maybe 95% older white. I guess they came more for the "Equalizer" name. Maybe? Idk? Maybe they just love Denzel? Good movie, hopefully it can have some sexy BO.

Any Friday #s?

My advance screening was about 85% older.

Are you saying God is wrong?

[Aplandg]

Pretty decent numbers all around!

Tombstones is dropping hard. Denzel killed Neeson.

[grey ghost]

Anyone a little worried Denzel is going to be typecast.

 

All his most successful films recently have him playing a badass anti-hero.

 

Hollywood might restrict him to those roles in the future.

[grey ghost]

On average around 20m.

 

No wonder he doesn't retire.

 

The guy makes a fortune every movie.

More like a badass super-hero, if you know what I mean.

No. He's Denzel, he can do as he pleases. He has no difficulty balancing fun roles with more dramatic material (and sometimes even a combo of the two).

So  Maze Runner should make around 17 million?
