The Equalizer 3 was a box office success

“The Equalizer 3” success on Netflix only two weeks after arriving on the platform isn’t surprising, considering that the film also smashed the box office. During its theatrical run, the thriller grossed $191 million worldwide against a $70 million budget.

It also received positive reviews from critics, scoring a 76% of approval on Rotten Tomatoes. While the extreme violence and script were divisive, Washington’s performance, the cinematography and score were praised.

The rest of the Top 5 movies of the week on Netflix are, according to FlixPatrol: the romantic drama “After Everything,” the survival drama “Society of the Snow,” and the animated film “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.”

Will ‘The Equalizer 3’ have a sequel?

While the film is considered to be the final film of the franchise, Fuqua has expressed interest in making a prequel of Robert McCall’s origins. Speaking to JoBlo, the director admitted that it would be a “cool” idea, and that Michael B. Jordan or John David Washington, son of Denzel, would also be great in the role of a young Robert McCall.
