Amazon MGM has been quietly growing its movie collection over the past few years. With only 15 films released so far, the studio is already making a big impact in the film world. Known for bold and stylish movies like Saltburn, A Working Man, and The Beekeeper, Amazon MGM is proving that quality matters more than quantity. And now, another movie is making headlines—The Accountant 2, a sequel many didn’t expect but are now showing up to see in theaters.
The Accountant 2 Becomes a Box Office Success
The Accountant 2, starring Ben Affleck, is turning into one of Amazon MGM’s biggest box office hits. While it didn’t start with a bang, the movie has been steadily pulling in solid numbers. Over the recent weekend, the film made $6.7 million from more than 3,400 theaters across North America. According to Box Office Mojo, this brings its total domestic earnings to $53.5 million.
Internationally, the movie has added another $31.5 million, bringing its global box office total to $85 million. That’s a big win, especially since the film’s reported budget was around $80 million. With that money now earned back, The Accountant 2 is officially in profit—or at least very close.
Although it may be tough for the film to catch up to Amazon MGM’s biggest hit, Red One, which made nearly $100 million in North America, The Accountant 2 is currently the third highest-grossing movie in the studio’s history. It’s also closing in on The Beekeeper, which made $66 million domestically.
Better Reviews Than the First Movie
While the box office numbers are impressive, what’s even more surprising is how well The Accountant 2 is being received by both fans and critics. Viewers have given the movie a strong audience score of 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. That shows people are really enjoying it.
Critics, who are usually harder to please, also gave the film a solid 76% rating. This is a big jump from the original The Accountant, which only had a 53% critic score. It looks like this sequel has done what many others fail to do—it improved on the original.
Ben Affleck’s Comeback in Action Films
For Ben Affleck, The Accountant 2 might be one of his better career choices in recent years. It brings back the kind of serious, gritty action movie that used to be very popular but has become rare in today’s cinema.
Along with Den of Thieves: Pantera, another gritty action movie, The Accountant 2 is part of a small group of films that are trying to bring back this intense, character-driven genre. So far, audiences are showing they still love this kind of storytelling.
Still Playing in Theaters
The Accountant 2 is still playing in theaters, holding its own against bigger, louder action blockbusters. It may not have had the flashiest launch, but it’s building momentum week by week. With strong word-of-mouth and good reviews, it could continue to perform well in the coming weeks.
As Amazon MGM keeps building its reputation, movies like The Accountant 2 show that the studio is on the right track—focusing on strong characters, interesting stories, and taking creative risks that are starting to pay off.
