The action-thriller film collected $73.5 million during its opening weekend, according to The Associated Press. The film is still attracting more than $6 million after it began shooting in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
Dwight Ilanovitz, who co-directed the film, said the film’s budget was about $1,000,000. He said that was the biggest sum he’d ever made money from.
“If it’s not enough,” he said, “it’s worth about $200,000.”
A $6,000 studio fee was imposed on Ilanovitz’s film after it was released in November. He said that the film had “enough story to fill everything,” adding that other filmmakers had “pretty much cut it.”
Ilanovitz, whose family will attend the film’s opening weekend, said he wanted the production to look “more like a movie about a small-town family” rather than the latest phenomenon of a movie at the same time. “The audience is really interested in it,” he said.
