Everyone knows the story of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's lifelong friendship; how they broke into Hollywood together by writing and starring in "Good Will Hunting," winning an Oscar and establishing themselves as two of the most significant forces in the industry for decades to come. That's the short version, anyway. The slightly longer version begins with the boys growing up together in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where they lived just two blocks apart and attended the same school. After high school, Damon enrolled in Harvard, where he wrote the beginnings of "Good Will Hunting" before dropping out and traveling to live with his buddy, Affleck, out in Los Angeles.

During that pre-"Good Will Hunting" period, both actors found work in multiple projects, with Damon appearing in a forgotten 1994 Western that marked Tommy Lee Jones' directorial debut and Affleck landing a role in the Danielle Steel TV movie adaptation, "Daddy.

The Accountant 2 Wins...

The new Ben Affleck movie has broken a major streaming record. The actor, writer, and director first became a major star off the back of his Oscar-winning 1997 movie Good Will Hunting, which he co-wrote with his co-star Matt Damon.

Since then, many Ben Affleck movies have become critical and commercial successes. In addition to 18 of his movies being Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, he has won two Oscars, one for Best Original Screenplay for Good Will Hunting and one for Best Picture for Argo, which he directed, produced, and starred in.

Altogether, movies in which he has starred have grossed more than $6.4 billion worldwide. While his highest-grossing movie is Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice ($874.4 million), other notable Affleck hits include Armageddon ($554.6 million), Peal Harbor ($449.2 million), and Gone Girl ($367.1 million). Now, a new streaming hit has added to the star's long roster of successes.

The Accountant 2 marked Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal's second film together after the success of 2016's The Accountant. The long-awaited sequel featured even better reviews than the first one, but didn't manage to make a profit.

That wasn't an issue for Amazon MGM Studios because The Accountant 2 ended up becoming extremely successful on streaming. The sequel had a 42-day exclusive theatrical window release after its Apr. 25 premiere, and it later premiered on Prime Video. PerDeadline, The Accountant 2 has pulled in almost 80 million views worldwide on Prime Video, becoming Amazon MGM Studios' second most-watched film of all time.

The new achievement is measured over a 28-day period. It started counting since The Accountant 2's premiere on Prime Video on June 5. The mystery thriller film experienced instant success on streaming and has been in the charts ever since.

The Accountant 2 brought back director Gavin O'Connor at the helm,...

Exclusive: The Accountant 2 knows how to count.

The Ben Affleck-Jon Bernthal sequel has pulled in nearly 80 million worldwide Prime Video viewers since its June 5 launch, officially ranking as Amazon MGM Studios’ second most-watched film of all time (measured over a 28-day period).

The Gavin O’Connor-directed movie had a 42-day exclusive theatrical window before landing on Prime Video. The sequel to the 2016 movie bowed to $24.5 million at the domestic box office and legged out to $65.5M stateside and $103.2M worldwide.

The Accountant 2 won the Audience Award at SXSW earlier this year after making its world premiere at the Austin fest. The pic also landed the No. 1 spot on Nielsen’s Movie chart on its debut week with 1.384 billion minutes streamed. The film is 72% Certified Fresh with critics on Rotten Tomatoes and landed a 92% on the Popcorn meter.

In part two, Christian Wolff (Affleck) applies his brilliant...

A third installment in Ben Affleck's action franchise looks more likely as the $102 million sequel remains a streaming hit a full month later. Though Affleck has been acting since he was a child, it wasn't until the 1990s that he became a more widely known presence.

Dazed and Confused (1993) and Mallrats (1995) remain some of his most notable early roles, but it was Good Will Hunting (1997) that really helped his leading-man career take off. After this Oscar-winning Matt Damon collaboration, Affleck found himself regularly appearing in thrillers and more action-heavy films.

The Town (2010) remains one of Affleck's most seminal thrillers, on top of titles like Argo (2014) and Gone Girl (2014). In addition to his work in the Dcu as Batman, the actor also starred in a 2016 film called The Accountant from director Gavin O'Connor, a film that eventually developed a passionate fan following.

Starring Ben Affleck in the lead role, Christian Wolff, Jon Bernthal as Brax, Cynthia Addai-Robinson as Marybeth Medina, and Daniella Pineda as Anaïs, the movie sees the titular accountant teaming up with his estranged brother from the original movie, The Accountant, to track down assassins following FinCEN director Raymond King's (J.K. Simmons) death.

According to Box Office Mojo, the sequel has made more than $100 million at the global box office, surpassing the 2003 Paycheck at 15th on Affleck's all-time chart among all 55 movies. The Town and The Accountant currently occupy the 14th and 13th spots, having garnered $154 million and $155.5 million globally from their theatrical runs, respectively. The top spot on the actor's all-time chart is currently occupied by the 2016 movie, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, which amassed more than $874 million globally.

What This Means For The Accountant 2 The Accountant...

After just three weeks in theaters, The Accountant 2 has reached a major box office milestone. Ben Affleck returned to play the titular character, Christian Wolff, although that task took nearly nine years to happen. Christian is eventually brought back into action following the death of FinCEN director Raymond King (J.K. Simmons), leading to a new mission to track down mysterious assassins. While The Accountant 2 received even better reviews than the original, it opened to $24 million during its debut weekend.

According to The Numbers, The Accountant 2 has just narrowly passed $90 million at the global box office. This comes as the movie just passed $59 million at the domestic box office and $31 million internationally. In addition, this milestone also moves the action sequel into Affleck's all-time highest-grossing movie charts, now ranking at the no. 17 spot. The Accountant 2 just passed his 2023 movie sports biopic Air and 2009's State of Play.

The action sequel The Accountant 2, which sees Ben Affleck reprising his role as autistic action hero Christian Wolff opposite returning co-stars Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, and J. K. Simmons, is climbing an important box office chart. The Accountant 2 opening weekend was underwhelming, with a $24.5 million domestic gross seeing it debut at No. 3 behind the second weekend of Sinners and the 20th anniversary re-release of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. It also had a harsh 61.3% drop during its sophomore weekend, but it has since leveled out and continued to climb the domestic chart.

Per The Numbers, The Accountant 2 has hit a domestic box office total of $53.6 million, just ahead of its fourth weekend in theaters. This is enough for it to surpass the $52.6 earned by George Clooney's 2023 rowing movie The Boys in the Boat and the $50.1 million earned by Luca Guadagnino's 2024 tennis drama Challengers,...

Actress Daniella Pineda recalled her experience working with Ben Affleck in The Accountant 2 during a conversation with uInterview founder Erik Meers. Affleck plays a forensic accountant named Christian Wolff, who must combine forces with his estranged and extremely dangerous brother in order to catch mystery assassins. “I was born in the late ’80s, grew up in the ’90s—that’s when Ben Affleck became a star,” Pineda said. “And the fact that we shot it in Los Angeles, I was like, ‘Wow, this is like I’m in the ’90s again. Can we do this all the time?’ The Accountant 2 is now in theaters.

The post Exclusive Video: Daniella Pineda On Working With Ben Affleck In ‘The Accountant 2’ appeared first on uInterview.

Although The Accountant 2 still falls well behind the original by all metrics at the box office, the film recently found new life during its third weekend in theaters. The action sequel led by Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal scored another $6 million at the domestic box office this weekend, only a 36% drop after previously falling 61% after opening weekend. At the time of writing, The Accountant 2 has grossed $50.8 million at the domestic box office and $25.1 million internationally for a worldwide total of $76 million. While not record-shattering numbers, this $76 million total is enough to pass Death Race, the 2008 sci-fi thriller starring Jason Statham. Death Race finished its box office run with $36 million coming from domestic and international markets, leading to its amassing $72 million globally.

While The Accountant 2’s box office numbers won’t be remembered as one of the best of the year, it’s earned strong reviews from both critics and audiences.

The Accountant 2has crossed another milestone, but it may still struggle to make a profit. The R-rated sequel was released on April 25 and comes nine years after the original movie entered theaters. The Accountant 2's cast is led by Ben Affleck (Christian Wolff), Jon Bernthal (Braxton Wolff), Cynthia Addai-Robinson (Marybeth Medina), and Daniella Pineda (Anaïs). J.K. Simmons' Raymond King drives the entire movie's plot, as Christian and his friend strive diligently to avenge their fallen ally after his shocking assassination.

According to a report by Variety, the sequel just crossed the $50 million domestic milestone, having grossed $50.8 million, alongside its $21 million international take. That amount comes after a $6.09 million weekend, which was enough to earn fourth place, behind Thunderbolts*, A Minecraft Movie, and Ryan Coogler's Sinners. Unfortunately, the $80 million budget makes profitability difficult to achieve, even after reaching this mark.
