Jason Statham’s $75 Million Film Is The Highest-Grosser Of 2024.

Jason Statham officially started 2024 on a high note with his action-adventure film The Beekeeper. The film has grossed $75 million worldwide and is set to hit the $100 million mark soon. The film surpassed Mean Girls’ $66 million gross to become the highest-grossing film of 2024. Although this is director David Ayer’s first success in a post-pandemic world, the film has been loved around the world. “The Beekeeper”, released on January 12, 2024, strengthened its position on the box office charts in its second week.

The company now earns $31 million domestically and $45 million overseas, including $9.5 million from China, $5.6 million from the Middle East, $5.5 million from Germany and Austria, $2.5 million from Mexico and $2.7 million from the UK. The Beekeeper’s next target is a $100 million club, and here are a few reasons that definitely say yes to the film reaching that number.

Why Jason Statham Prefers Action Roles Like Fast & Furious Over Playing A Superhero

The Audience And Critics Rating

The action-adventure has received rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. It is trending globally at number 6 on IMDb’s most popular films list, with a rating of 6.8. Meanwhile, it scores 70% on Rotten Tomatoes with an audience score of 93%.

The Simplistic Approach

The storyline is so simple and easy. Even simple fights grabbed the maximum attention. And while the firm decides to be or not to be, it definitely worked the idea of being simple and direct.

Superseded The Expectations

When the trailer of the film dropped, no one imagined it to be this brilliant. So, it immediately clicked with the audiences when it turned out far better than the expectations, superseding the anticipation with a brilliant and strong storyline, putting the action sequences with context – a rarity in films high on action.

Statham’s One Man Army

Jason Statham is a one-man army in The Beekeeper, and thus, the audiences root for him endlessly. There is no Statham film that does not qualify the minimum requirements of an entertainer, and this one action film passes with distinction. The Beekeeper has tapped into the opportunity of less number of releases in January 2024. While it will continue to be on top of the box office charts this week as well, it would be interesting to see how dynamics would change.
