“Pantera” topped the US checkout with one 15.5 million dollar opening weekend And has so far increased $ 32 million. The film debuted at PVOD Tuesday, January 28. The first “Den of Thieves” collected $ 80 million all over the world.
“The Thicks” was made on a budget of $ 30 million, while “Pantera” raised the budget to $ 40 million, but the franchise is proud to shoot the action acting as cheaply and quickly as possible.
“Sometimes you want a little more time, but generally the faster I move in a movie, the better,” Butler said under a new Interview with IndieWire. “There is less time to think about it and overwork things, and you are just in it … It’s guerrilla’s filmmaking and we get as much movie where we can.”
Released in 2018 followed the original “The of Thieves” Big Nick when he pressed Donnie, a mole in the world’s most elite crew by bank robbers, for information about a plot to rob Federal Reserve – just to find out he was playing all the time. “Pantera” tipped the condition and saw Nick and Donnie cooperate on a diamond history – although it also contained enough turns to ensure that the franchise could continue in any number of directions. The original film has a certain cultural, including Art House Director Christian Petzold among them.
“Although no one asked for ‘the of Thieves 2’, it may be time to start crossing your fingers for” the of Thieves 3, ” IndieWires ‘Pantera’ review reads. “Butler and Jackson’s Frenmy Dynamic shoot on all cylinders at the end of ‘Pantera’, and the overlap between the characters’ mutual respect for each other and insatiable desire to screw each other can lead to endless future adventures on both side teams.”
No release date or production time line for “The of Thieves 3” has been announced.
Tucker Tooley Entertainment has previously collaborated with Lionsgate on “Arthur the King” and is also behind the upcoming documentary “Finding Satoshi.”
