“I think I can, I think I can… be the best movie at the box office,” said Sony’s original action movie.
Brad Pitt’s “Bullet Train” should rank first on the local charts. The film earned $12.6 million from 4,357 sites on Friday and is expected to debut with $30 million. It’s a solid performance for an original film without franchise ties or multiverse hoaxes, but the film will have to keep running until August to recoup its $90 million production budget.
The movie crew should help all-stars with that. Besides Pete, the group also includes names such as Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Joey King, Brian Tyree Henry, Andrew Koji, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael Shannon, Sandra Bullock and Benito A. Martinez Ocasio, also known as Latin music star Bad Bunny.
“Bullet Train” is seen as a kind of check on the kind of movie that will rally audiences to theaters for it. The R-rated action movie will skew toward adult men – the most reliable demographic with consistent theater attendance since the COVID-19 lockdowns eased. However, with a marketing campaign promoting a colorful cast of characters rather than any known intellectual property, “Bullet Train” isn’t a sure hit.
“Bullet Train” received a lukewarm response from critics, earning a 41% approval rating from top critics on Rotten Tomatoes for compiling the review. diverse Senior film critic Peter Debruge was mixed with the film, writing that he is “trying to [its] I dare direct the likes of Tarantino and Ritchie, even if the dialogue and fictitious British accents are not strong enough to earn such comparisons.”
Directed by Pete’s former double David Leitch, who has since led actors like “corn blond” and “Deadpool 2,” the film portrays the star as a hitman who accepts a simple assignment aboard a high-speed train in Japan. However, he soon discovers that a group of assassins on board have conflicting missions of their own.
