The action comedy has surpassed movies like A Working Man and Materialists at the worldwide box office. It was made on a decent budget of $42 million and has earned more than twice that. This is good for comedies, as they hardly do well upon theatrical releases. This will not be a huge blockbuster, but its success will ensure more action comedies at the theaters.

Less than $5 million away from hitting the $100 million milestone
Liam Neeson’s film is less than $5 million away from hitting the $100 million milestone at the worldwide box office. It will be the first installment in the franchise to hit this major milestone worldwide. Leslie Nielsen’s films did not surpass the $87 million mark at the box office because none of the movies were released outside North America. As a result, they never hit the $100 million milestone.
The movie was reported to have a budget of $42 million, but according to industry rules, it needs $105 million to break even. Therefore, after crossing the $100 million mark, it will be closer to breaking even and eventually becoming a box office success.
