Denzel Washington Defeats Zack Snyder As The King Of Netflix

While Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning’s on-screen reunion wasn’t the sole reason that audiences turned out in droves for the third – and supposedly final – installment in Antoine Fuqua’s franchise, it certainly didn’t hurt.

But, it’s even more likely that fans were eager to catch the third chapter following the success of the two productions that came before it in 2014 and 2018. By the time The Equalizer 3 dipped out of theaters, it had grossed an impressive $191 million at the global box office against its budget of $70 million.
