‘The Amateur’ Overtakes Jason Statham’s 52% Rotten Tomatoes Action Sequel at Global Box Office

While everyone was paying attention to the blockbusting being accomplished by A Minecraft Movie and Sinners, all the dads got together and made The Amateur a hit. The espionage thriller features Rami Malek in his first proper leading role since he won an Oscar for his performance in Bohemian Rhapsody. In the last month, The Amateur has not only shown the power of counter-programming, but also how vital it is to not ignore underserved audiences. Older crowds will leave their homes if given a reason to; they aren't interested in watching only Reacher or Bosch.
