Jason Statham is action movies Matthew McConaughey

There's a lot you might not know about Jason Statham: he was a diver, modeled for French connection, were sold on the black market and moderately successful action movies like clockwork turns out. In fact, he makes successful action movies at a rate of 1.3 films per year.

If you don't like tough guy, shoot ' em up action flicks, this might come as a surprise to you. She would be hard do to someone calling Statham to find celebrity "A List". Many of the films get panned critics and audience critical. Of the 21 films he has on rotten tomatoes, only six are rated "fresh.". But much like Matthew McConaughey and his steady stream of rom-coms, Statham has found a formula that works well, and he seems to stick: low overhead, modest profit.

Take the 'transporter'-series. The average 'transporter' film costs make an estimated $31 million and an average worldwide earn earned gross of $ 78 million at the box office with any significantly more than the last film. That's $47 million profit per flick. Of DVD sales, and you have a hugely profitable film franchise. Not bad, Mr. Statham, not bad at all.

This seems about par for the course for Statham be: the movies he was published in the United States, he scored an average $38 million profit only from the box office. And if you questions like that is possible, because almost exactly half of the earned money was from outside the US

In a world where ' avatar' $2 billion deserves, perhaps, that doesn't sound like much, but let's compare flick with a typical Matthew McConaughey. 'Fool's gold,' earned only $ 41 million.

Then have Statham's ensemble films, especially 'snatch' and 'The Expendables', both of which were hits worldwide box office. Again, we don't talk about 'Avatar' money, but ' the expendables' $ 217 million on a 80 million US$ budget made.

A single Jason Statham movie is so perhaps never in James Cameron level revenue drag but in his his movies $752 million in profit have made.

So Mr. Statham keep them out, "Crank" ing; You need only six more films to hit 1 billion.
