The Equalizer 3 was made in $70 million, similar to its predecessors. So, to succeed at the box office the film needed to make at least $175 million. The Equalizer is one of the most consistent franchises, as both The Equalizer and The Equalizer 2 made almost exactly $190 million. The general rule of thumb is that a movie needs to make 2.5 times its budget to become successful, as the marketing budget is usually equal to its production cost, and then there’s the movie theaters’ cut (50%). So, before Sony can call the movie a success it needed to earn $175 million, which should not be a problem if the film would’ve performed like the other films in the franchise. Although, reality is often disappointing as The Equalizer 3 has only managed to collect $136 million so far. To cover up their loses, Sony is making the film available online for purchase. When? Let’s find out.
