## Key points

- Statham's 2024 franchise reboot leaves Paramount+ soon in the US.
- The film earned $51m worldwide against a $100m budget.
- Statham's other recent films, like The Beekeeper, fared much better.

## Summary

Jason Statham's 2024 franchise reboot is set to leave Paramount+ in the United States soon, capping a disappointing chapter in the actor's recent run of box office results. The film, the fourth instalment of an action series that began in 2010 with Sylvester Stallone, was built specifically around Statham after Stallone stepped back from the franchise's demanding stunt work, but the handover failed to resonate with audiences.

The instalment, widely understood to be Expendables 4, grossed just $51 million worldwide against a reported $100 million budget, making it a rare miss in an otherwise mixed but often successful stretch for Statham. By contrast, his other recent films have fared far better: The Beekeeper and A Working Man, both directed by David Ayer, took $160 million and nearly $100 million respectively, while Meg 2: The Trench earned close to $400 million globally. His latest release, Shelter, struggled theatrically but has reportedly performed well on premium video-on-demand.
