Jason Statham's A Minecraft Movie's $135 million weekend.

According to a report by Deadline, Statham's latest action movie is expected to reach $27.7 million through its second weekend, thanks to a $7.2 million three-day weekend. That marks a 53% drop from last weekend's total, but it would be enough to earn a place in the top 25 highest-grossing Jason Statham movies at the domestic box office in just its second week. At $27.7 million, it would sit in 25th place on his all-time chart, just above Wrath of Man (2021) but still behind Crank (2006).

What A Working Man's Milestone Means For Statham

It Is Still A Relatively Small Total

Statham has enjoyed a prominent career in Hollywood, and A Working Man is just his latest success. It ed Wrath of Man by approximately $200,000 and remains just $100,000 behind Crank. It is far from Statham's highest-grossing domestic movies, which are led by Furious 7 ($353 million), The Fate of the Furious ($226 million), and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw ($174 million). Aside from franchises, his highest-grossing domestic hit is still The Meg (2018), which earned $145 million. Check out Statham's biggest box office hits below:

It is extremely unlikely that A Working Man will ever achieve the success of these movies, but it does not necessarily need to. With a production budget of just $40 million, it will need to earn approximately $100 million to achieve success, and that is certainly a possibility when ing for its international total. At the moment, it has already earned its raw budget, and it has several more weeks left in its run. His last release The Beekeeper earned $152 million, so the conceptually similar Working Man has a path to success.

Our Take On A Working Man's Milestone

Positive Critical Responses Defined A Working Man

ScreenRant's Mary Kassel may not have loved A Working Man, but they described the movie as "a mindless good time." It's not the only review to share similar sentiments. The movie has a 51% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes, but it was Verified Hot with an 88% Popcornmeter score, as viewers praised the over-the-top action. Much like Statham's The Beekeeper and The Transporter, the movie offers an enjoyable experience that audiences never need to think too much about. A Working Man's simplicity is exactly what viewers were looking for, which is why it is thriving at the box office.
