Shelter's Box Office Struggles Despite Beating Shawshank Redemption
13 Feb
Summary
- Jason Statham's 'Shelter' grossed $29.9 million globally on a $50 million budget.
- The film is still $20 million short of recouping its production costs.
- 'Shelter' has surpassed The Shawshank Redemption's worldwide box office total.
Jason Statham's latest film, 'Shelter,' has underperformed at the global box office, garnering $29.9 million against its substantial $50 million production budget. The thriller, released on January 28, has yet to recoup its costs, requiring approximately $125 million to break even, a figure now deemed unattainable.
Despite its financial shortcomings and weak domestic performance in North America, 'Shelter' has managed to outgross the iconic film 'The Shawshank Redemption' worldwide. While 'The Shawshank Redemption' holds a long-standing 9.3 rating on IMDb, its total box office earnings across various releases stand at $29.3 million, making 'Shelter's' current $29.9 million worldwide gross a notable, albeit surprising, statistical achievement.
The plot of 'Shelter' centers on a former British government assassin living in isolation off the coast of Scotland. His solitary life is disrupted as he must protect a young girl from a dangerous agency from his past. The film also features performances by Bodhi Rae Breathnach, Bill Nighy, Naomi Ackie, and Daniel Mays.
