The action three-quel stars Denzel Washington.
The Big Picture Sony’s The Equalizer 3 came out all guns blazing over the Labor Day weekend, and has been able to deliver the goods during a rather rough phase at the box office. On its 27th day in theaters across the world, the action film passed the $150 million mark at the global box office, putting it closer to its two predecessors, which incidentally concluded their domestic and worldwide runs with near-identical totals.
This means that a million dollars here or there could either make The Equalizer 3 the highest-grossing movie of the trilogy, or the lowest-grossing one. As things stand, the film has earned around $83 million domestically, and another $67 million from overseas markets, for a global total of just over $150 million. The film’s biggest foreign markets are the U.K. , Australia , Spain , The Netherlands and Italy .
By comparison, 2014’s The Equalizer grossed $101 million domestically and $192 million worldwide, while The Equalizer 2, released four years later, concluded its domestic run with $102 million, and grossed $191 million globally. Each of the three films in the series has been directed by Antoine Fuqua and stars Denzel Washington; the duo most famously collaborated on 2001’s Training Day, which earned Washington his second acting Oscar.
The Movie Provided Some Hope in a Disappointing September The Equalizer movies, which are loosely based on the ‘80s television series of the same name, established Washington as an older action star after a career dominated mostly by dramatic roles. It's similar to how the Taken trilogy gave Liam Neeson’s career a new lease on life in the late 2000s.
The period caused millions in losses for studios and artists, and also resulted in the delays of several high-profile fall releases. Overall, the month of September was a noticeable let-down from the record highs of the summer movie season, but The Equalizer 3 and The Nun II kept the ticket counters ringing. This weekend will see the release of another franchise sequel, Saw X, which is expected to duke it out for the top spot with the original science-fiction film The Creator.
