The Equalizer 3, which stars Denzel Washington, still managed deliver a solid week at the global box office as it became available on digital.
The Big Picture It looks like Sony’s The Equalizer 3 isn’t going to be able to surpass its two predecessors at the box office after all, as it nears the end of its theatrical run and begins its life on home video. The third installment of the action series delivered a tremendous opening back in the first week of September, but wasn’t able to register strong enough holds over the next month.
This weekend — its sixth — the film generated around $1.8 million domestically, and it grossed around $6 million from international markets over the course of the last week. This takes The Equalizer 3’s running domestic total to $88 million, and its cumulative worldwide gross to $167 million. Because both previous entries in the trilogy delivered near-identical totals domestically and worldwide, the margins for bragging rights were wafer-thin for The Equalizer 3.
Loosely based on the television series from the 1980s, each film in the trilogy has been directed by Antoine Fuqua and stars Denzel Washington in the lead role of an ex-Marine vigilante. With only Mexico left to open this week, The Equalizer 3 has now either played or is currently playing in every major territory in the world. The film’s biggest foreign markets are the U.K. , Australia , Spain , The Netherlands and Italy .
The Trilogy Is Ending on a Positive Note Even if it isn’t going to be able to end the franchise on a high, commercially speaking, at least everybody involved can take pride in the fact that The Equalizer 3 earned some of the best reviews of the series. The film currently sits at a “fresh” 75% score on the aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, where the first film has a 61% approval rating and the second a 52% score.
In addition to serving as a reminder of Washington’s significant star-power — the third installment debuted without him having promoted it — The Equalizer trilogy has also facilitated his rebirth as an older action star, similar to what the Taken films were able to do for Liam Neeson in the late 2000s and early 2010s. In fact, the Taken trilogy’s box office success probably enabled The Equalizer reboot as well.
