He now has a wide range of cinematic tastes, enjoying the latest Hollywood blockbusters, Oscar contenders, and everything in between. Chris has attended several events for Screen Rant, including San Diego Comic-Con and Star Wars Celebration.Ĭhris credits Toy Story and Star Wars with launching a lifelong fascination with movies that led him on the path to his career. He was hired by Screen Rant in 2013 to write box office prediction posts in conjunction with the Screen Rant Underground's Box Office Battle game, and his role at the site grew from there. He is a graduate of Wesley College's Bachelor of Media Arts and Master of Sport Leadership programs. This time of year, that might be enough to grab one of the top spots, but it's hardly a successful figure.Ĭhris Agar is a senior movie/TV news editor for Screen Rant and one of Screen Rant's Rotten Tomatoes approved critics. Lacking any real bankable names (relying on the Taken brand to bring in viewers) and trying to revive a franchise with little life, early projections have it making just $8 million in its first three days. And as the opening weekend numbers for the trilogy would indicate ($9 million, $16 million, and $12 million respectively), there wasn't much audience demand when Transporter films were coming out on a regular basis.Īs such, it's hard to see how Refueled can buck that trend, especially as it is arriving in theaters with little buzz to speak of. The highest the original films got was $43 million with 2005's The Transporter 2, and the most recent installment (released in 2008) made only $31.7 million for its entire run. But even then, it was hardly a blockbuster property. The film is a reboot of the action franchise that used to star Jason Statham. Coming in second should be The Transporter Refueled.
