Levon's Trade, another fast-paced action movie Jason Statham is set to premiere in 2025 This forthcoming film chronicles the surprising popularity of The Beekeeper, which exceeded earlier this year's box office projections. Under David Ayer's direction, The Beekeeper attracted an amazing $152 million globally, which prompted Amazon MGM to quickly approve Levon's Trade using the same creative team.
Levon's Trade's performance has been elevated by the Beekeeper's success, so fostering more expectations. Amazon MGM is keen to follow The Beekeeper's success, and Sylvester Stallone's co-writing increases the buzz even more. The studio is not striving for a meager profit anymore; Levon's Trade is supposed to replicate The Beekeeper's amazing box office success.
Before The Beekeeper, Statham's action films were successful but usually fell short of blockbuster reputation. Though both franchises he oversaw had higher box office returns, The Meg and The Expendables were exceptions in terms of scale. Statham's action series usually produced profits much below The Beekeeper's $152 million. Nowadays, Levon's Trade deals with different expectations. Not matching The Beekeeper's box office performance could be seen as a financial letdown.
Levon's Trade seems to be methodically copying the recipe for The Beekeeper's success. Apart from keeping the same creative crew and studio alliance, the movie is set to premiere in January 2025. Although this window might occasionally be used for less confident releases, The Beekeeper's launching pad in 2024 was ideal. Having little competition, it became one of the first hits of the year right away.
The January 2025 release date could help Levon's Trade at the box office. Still, it will face more intense rivalry than The Beekeeper. Guy Ritchie's action film In The Grey is set to premiere the same day, while Den of Thieves is expected to premiere weeks ahead. The ability of Levon's Trade to copy The Beekeeper's critical praise will determine its prospects of success. Good reviews might greatly increase its box office potential.
Levon's Trade carries the weight of great expectations following The Beekeeper's extraordinary success. The talent behind the movie and its deliberate release date produce a winning combination. But its final box office performance will be much influenced by the competitive scene and the need to match The Beekeeper's critical reaction. Only time will show whether Levon's Trade lives up to the expectations and turns into another big hit for Jason Statham.
