All tag results for 'taken 2'

But to be fair, the folks behind Alex Cross should have known better!

Despite the fact that Tyler Perry - who for the first time is headlining the flick without any other involvement - is known to pull in big bucks at the box office, even HE could not challenge the money-making Paranormal Activity franchise's fourth installment!

The found-footage horror flick came in number one in its debut weekend, making $30.2 million alone, while Argo shot up to two with $16.6 million, Hotel Transylvania with $13.5 million, and Taken 2 down with $13.4 million!

This, of course, left Alex Cross with - to be fair - a decent $11.8 million, but proved that beyond Perry's core audience, no one was too innerested!

And why would they be?!

It's Halloween season, after all!

And between Paranormal Activity and Sinister for adults, and Frankenweenie and Hotel Transylvania for the kiddies, there just doesn't seem to be too much room for anything else!

Better luck next time, boy!

Uh-oh!

It looks as though Liam Neeson's bad-ass reign over the weekend box office may soon be challenged by Ben Affleck!

The 60-year-old action star's latest flick, Taken 2, remained in the number one spot for the second weekend in a row, making $22.5 million and bringing its domestic total to $86.8 million!

However, unlike last week when it made over $20 million more than the number two flick, Hotel Transylvania, Affleck's Argo pulled a CLOSE SECOND this time around with $20.1 million!

And even THAT was closely followed by Ethan Hawke's new fright-tastic flick, Sinister, which made $18.3 million!

All right!

We're excited to see what will pull ahead - and what will lose it steam - by this time next week!

With numbers this close, it really could be ANY OF THEM!

We wonder if Liam Neeson ever anticipated that at the age of 60, he would be bringing in this kind of money as an action star?!

Doesn't matter! Because it is one helluva REALITY at this point!

The actor's latest movie, Taken 2, made MASSIVE BANK this weekend by pulling in close to $50 million and becoming the third-largest debut for an October release EVER!

Not to mention it doubled what the original made in that time period!

Meanwhile, the only flick that came REMOTELY close to making that kind of money was Hotel Transylvania, and with $26.3 million in the number two spot, we think everyone can agree that it's a bit of a stretch!

And now that Pitch Perfect's release has gone wide, it came in third and pulled in $14.7 million!

We all can agree that Liam Neeson is the man.

And, by all accounts, it seems like the sequel to the movie that emphasized Neeson's butt kicking abilities, will be the shizz.

Needless to say, we're very pumped for this action romp fest to hit the big screen.

It doesn't get any better than watching Neeson beastin' random European bad guys.

Right?!?!

So, please train your wonderful eyes on the SECOND trailer for Taken 2 directly (above) !!!

Remember the trailer for Taken 2 we posted back in June? Well, that was a leaked trailer, but now the official version has debuted.

It's pretty much the same thing as the other one, except things happen in a slightly different order as cooler music plays, but who can resist watching Liam Neeson kick ass with his particular set of skills over and over again?

We can't and neither can U. Enjoy!

When will bad guys learn that it's NEVER a good idea to piss of Liam Neeson? If the upcoming sequel to Taken is a hit, we imagine they might figure it out sometime after Taken 3.

The trailer for Taken 2 (above) has hit the web and Neeson's retired CIA agent character is still pretty handy with his particular set of skills.

Unfortunately, he didn't kill enough Albanians in the first one because they are back and pret-ty mad at all the chaos he caused while trying to save his daughter's life a few years ago.

Now they are coming for him and Neeson has to worry about his own safety on top of his family's. While it looks like his mission might be a bit tougher this time, we have a feeling that the guys trying to kill him won't be much more successful than they were the first time they tried.

Wow!

We certainly wouldn't have seen this coming! But it might work!

Production on a sequel to the Liam Neeson action flick taken, with original castmembers Famke Janssen and Maggie Grace both returning, is well underway, and pretty fascinating new details about the direction the script will be taking have emerged!

Check out the SPOILERS AFTER THE JUMP!
