Warner Bros.‘s The Accountant stormed well ahead of BoxOfficeMojo‘s weekend forecast to finish #1 for the weekend. The Ben Affleck starrer more than than doubled its closest competition, which found a pair of Universal titles competing for second place between the debut of Kevin Hart: What Now? and last weekend’s #1 film, The Girl on the Train.

The Magnificent Seven (2016) Review!!!

Synopsis – Seven gun men in the old west gradually come together to help a poor village against savage thieves. My Take – Remakes rarely turn out to be good. Mainly because the directors behind the remake, struggle to find the right balance between paying ode to the original film while trying to do their own thing. Here, the film is a remake of a 1960 film … Continue reading The Magnificent Seven (2016) Review!!!
