David Ayer's THE BEEKEEPER starring Jason Statham (2024) 3 3

Quote

It’s too soon to tell, but Paramount’s “Mean Girls” musical is virtually tied with Amazon MGM’s “The Beekeeper” for first place in this unusually close box office battle. Amazon MGM is reporting that “The Beekeeper” claimed the top spot with $7.4 million from 3,337 theaters in its third weekend of release.

 

David Ayer’s action thriller “The Beekeeper” has grossed $41.6 million in North America and $100 million worldwide so far. The movie, starring Jason Statham as a former operative who exacts revenge on behalf of his friend, was produced and financed by Miramax. Amazon MGM (which acquired North American rights) is only on the hook for the cost of booking the movie in domestic theaters.

Well that was fun! Predictable at times with the multiple adversaries beatdowns - but still Jason Statham action fun seeing him win out.

Glad to see it is doing well for a $34M production budget film as with current results it has done over 3.1X in revenue.

Amen

Not a lot of fluff, just straight and to the point

I recently was reviewing my blu-ray and digital library. I was surprised by how many movies I have with Jason Statham. Including one of my favorites...

And one of his craziest roles ever...

I wife almost dumped me when we watched CRANK while we were dating. To this day, she refuses to even mention this movie ever existed.

I really liked Beekeeper. Exactly what I was hoping it would be - just a ton of fun and crazy action.

I enjoyed it too.  Definitely a movie where you don't spend too much time overthinking the plot holes.  A friend suggested a movie where the Beekeeper, Equalizer and Wick have a mash-up.

Was it good? I'm not sure I've seen that one yet.

It is very strange in concept, but to me so different than a typical Jason Statham film it is fun.

And the sequel gets even weirder

Let me tell you all something...

This movie is pretty fun!

If you combined The Punisher & Michael Myers from Halloween and you have the main character!

I can't wait to own this movie.  I also recommend watching Jason in the movie Wrath of Man as well.

Enjoyed The Beekeeper for what it was and went into it with expectations that it met.

6/10

As to my suggested mash-up; The Beekeeper vs The Equalizer vs. John Wick it would be an interesting fight!

I read somewhere that it was doing well. I'm not sure about @paperheart's 52 rating, but other people I know who saw it enjoyed it. It's definitely not Hamlet;) but I thought it was a good action movie. We went on a Tuesday afternoon and there were actually people in the theatre.

 

I just streamed it and it was exactly what I expected and exactly what I wanted to see. It was tight and to the point. As far as action films go, it was a 9 out of 10 for me. The first John Wick was a 9.5 and the first Equalizer was a 10. They rated higher because of their extraordinary supporting cast and of course The Equalizer had Denzel Washington.
