LOS ANGELES - If time is a flat circle, then it s only fitting that a second Liam Neeson movie is ruling over the U.S. Box Office during the pandemic. Months after his action-thriller Honest Thief led domestic charts, another Neeson (you guessed it!) action thriller The Marksman has debut at No. 1 with $3.2 million in ticket sales.
Robert Lorenz directed The Marksman, about a rancher and retired Marine living in Arizona who helps a young boy escape a Mexican drug cartel. The film, which premiered in 1,975 locations, should rake in $3.7 million through the Martin Luther King holiday on Monday. Open Road, the distributor behind The Marksman, also backed Honest Thief. That film bowed to $3.7 million last October and ended its theatrical run with $14 million in the U.S. and $28 million globally.
