2020: Bad Boys For Life ($204,417,855)

In a Britain crushed by a cruel dictator, a masked avenger enlists Natalie Portman in a fight for freedom.
The film opens with Guy Fawkes being executed in scenes filmed outside the South Front of Hatfield House.
It’s fitting as it was one of the current Lord Salisbury’s ancestors who helped to foil the real Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot in 1605.
