It’s tough to make a choice between two movies releasing on the same day but the fans have picked their choice, and are impressed with the Bodyguard’s skills to protect the hitman!
The Hitman’s Bodyguard and Logan Lucky released worldwide on August 18, and after a sleepy month of August for Hollywood, The Hitman’s Bodyguard has wrestled the first position at the box office.
With great word of mouth from the fans for the action-comedy film, The Hitman’s Bodyguard earned $21.6 Million at the box office in its first weekend while the critical heist film, Logan Lucky, under performed at the box office despite the ensemble star cast and Steven Soderbergh as the director of the film. Logan Lucky collected $8.1 million in its first weekend.
While Hitman’s Bodyguard impressed the fans, Logan Lucky fared well with the critics!
It’ll be interesting to see the competition between the two films when they proceed to the first week after the weekend, as first week collections are crucial to determine the position for the films. Who knows the table just might turn for either of the films!
