Jason Statham is Matthew McConaughey action movies

There are many do not know about Jason Statham: he is Olympic Diver, worked for the French connection, goods sold on the black market and proves to be moderately successful action movies like clockwork. In fact he made successful action films in the size of 1.3 movies of the year.

If you don't like hard-man, shoot-em-up action ' movements, this may come as a surprise to you. That would be difficult to find someone calling Statham celebrity "List". Critical of many of his films get panned by critics and audiences. 21 films, he has a rotten tomatoes only 6 are considered "fresh". But also bear much as Matthew McConaughey and his constant flow of rom-coms, Statham is a surface, a formula that works well, and it seems to be sticking to it: low overhead, modest profit.

To a series of "Carrier". The average "Carrier" film cost $ 31 million to make and earned worldwide gross of 78 million dollars in box office, with each movie earning significantly larger than the last mean value. This is 47 million dollars in profit of the flick. Add DVD sales, and you have an enormously profitable movie franchise. It is not bad, Mr. Statham, is not bad at all.

This seems about par for the course for Statham: movies, he participated in, which were released in the United States, he averaged 38 million dollars in profit only from the box office sales. And if you are wondering how this is possible, it is because almost exactly half of the money is from outside the United States.

In a world where "Avatar" containing $ 2 billion euros, which might not sound like much, but Let's compare typical Matthew McConaughey movements. "Fool's gold," for example, only received 41 million dollars.

Then you have Statham ensemble films, in particular the "Snatch" and "the Expendables," both of which were in the world box office hits. Again, not to mention for "Avatar" money, but "Expendables" made 217 million dollars budget $ 80 million dollars.

So maybe one Jason Statham movie never will pull in James Cameron-level income, but in her films have made 752 million dollars for a profit.

So beware "crank" ing it, Mr. Statham; just six more films to hit a billion.
