Lol at a review calling this movie Murder on Liam Neeson Express, while another one says this is Murder on The Orient Express Cousin. XD

[Blaze Heatnix]

91 million worldwide for now.

 

This actioner is probably going to end with at least 100 million worldwide. Another Neeson sucess! XD

Why?

 

This has a 30 million budget. It's a hit, though not like the Taken movies.

It was a lot of fun, I enjoyed it. Not a great movie, sure, but it was better than Non Stop and it was definitely entertaining.

I imagine people said that after A Walk Among the Tombstones made 52m WW and a 3rd person made close to 0, than he made 325m right the year after, Commuter is going over 100m.... over 100m for a small budget Liongates action movie with a 58% rt score and he is not a draw ? 

 

You think it would have made exactly or almost exactly the same with a unknown cast ?

 

You can see how much the average action movie do:

Really common to not reach 1 million.

 

He is a somewhat limited to a very niche movie/role type of draw (has shown by a lot of is movies not making 2m WW, is last 5 not making 10m domestic), but in it he is a really big international one, a 20M + 10% gross salary type paycheck type of draw in the good role (say like a Taken sequel)

budget talks are overrated.

 

he used to pull big numbes back then with taken movies and unknown and non stop and his last movies flopped and this one did ok

 

edit: ok unknown did 130m and this will do 100m so its not that far but still...

This movie kind of got overshadowed by all the adult competition

105 million worldwide. I guess this was a hit.

 

By the way, it got released last Thursday here in Brazil. I liked how Black Panther's sister was in this movie, though her screentime is really small. She was great with her part.
