    I love Liam. I feel he is typecast and maybe that’s added to his paydays over the years.

    Thank for posting. Excellent info on success. 78 movies total :
    35% successful
    19%average
    46% failure
    He only" succeeded " one third of his attempts. And by all means he is considered to have a very successful career. Lesson? You need to fail a lot in order to find success. Keep going no matter what and eventually you succeed.

      Tell that to people that continue to point out Trump filed bankruptcy 6!times while owning over 500!companies. He has a 99% success rate, which is unheard of in the business world, yet people want to focus on a few failures in companies that he was a partner in. Everyone with a real college degree understands failure is a way to learn, and without failure, it’s practically impossible to improve.

    @rongendron8705 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Now that Liam Neeson has had ten "bombs", "flops" or N/A's, in a row, since 2019,
    is the general public trying to tell this 72 year "action star", that it's time to stop
    making the same movie, over & over again? Also, does he get a percentage of
    the gross, because his salary range seems to fluctuate more than I've ever seen?

    I'm doubting any of these numbers are real..also the Budget vs Box Office success of the film is laughably incorrect. Most films need to make at least twice of their budget to account for the theaters cut and marketing.

    What's the difference between a Flop and a Bomb? Some of the movies that did well you call bombs. I'm confused about how you draw your conclusions. If a movie made a lot more than it's budget why do you call it a Flop/Bomb?

    • @BoxOfficeJoe
      @BoxOfficeJoe  23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you for bringing this up, @chocolatecaramel4447! Box office earnings are split between the cinemas and the studio, so a movie has to earn at least twice its budget just to break even. A "Bomb" is the worst-it makes less than the budget. A "Flop" is slightly better-it makes more than the budget but less than 2x. Both lose money none the less. Hope this clarifies!

  • @tedjohnson7485
    @tedjohnson7485 15 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Most of his recent movies have been flops but that's Hollywood for you now. They have no idea how to make great movies anymore. At least most of the time. I see After.Life flopped. A couple years ago I got some movie channels free for a week and I watched that movie. It was different from most of his movies. Really weird. Not the kind of movie I guess people go see but okay on TV. Also, he's been acting a long time and seems to have a few movies going all the time. You wouldn't think he was in that many movies. He's had a great career.
