The Equalizer 3's budget continues a series trend.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Equalizer 3 could have a big opening weekend, but its success is all relative to how much the movie cost to make. The new movie sees Denzel Washington reprising his role as Robert McCall, a former U.S. Marine, who takes on the mafia in Southern Italy. The upcoming threequel represents the only franchise the prolific actor has ever led, in spite of all his years in the industry.
The Equalizer 3 has gotten a mixed reception from critics. GamesRadar perfectly summed up the mixed response, noting, "Denzel Washington is compelling in Robert McCall's swan song, but the story often falls flat." However, the threequel still has a stronger Rotten Tomatoes score than The Equalizer 2, and the movie delivers even more shocking kills than its predecessors.
The Equalizer 3's Budget Is Reportedly $70 Million How much it needs to suceed, of course, is tied directly to its budget. It was reported by Variety that The Equalizer 3 had a budget of $70 million, which continues a franchise trend. The Equalizer is one of the most consistent franchises, as both The Equalizer and The Equalizer 2 made almost exactly $190 million and had budgets of almost exactly $70 million.
The Equalizer 3 Needs To Make At Least $175 Million At The Box Office To Succeed The Equalizer 3 needs to make $175 million to break even and become a success. The general rule of thumb is that a movie needs to make 2.5 times its budget to become successful, as the marketing budget is usually equal to its production cost, and then there's the movie theaters' cut.
However, there isn't much difference, as The Equalizer made $34 million in its opening weekend, and The Equalizer 2 earned $36 million. On top of that, the four-day labor weekend could see the threequel make up to $40 million. The Equalizer 3 might not reach the franchise high of $192 million, but it'll certainly come close and continue the series' extremely rare consistency.
