Now this is a great movie everyone can fall in love with!! Could you write a film similar to this one? What would you call it and the premise?
NEW YORK (AP) — In an unexpected upset, the Jason Statham thriller “A Working Man” took No. 1 at the box office, besting the rapidly declining “Snow White,” according to studio estimates Sunday.
Even after a lackluster debut, the Walt Disney Co.’s live-action remake was predicted to remain the top film in U.S. and Canadian theaters over the weekend. Instead, “Snow White,” plagued by bad buzz and backlash, nosedived in its second weekend and dropped 66%.
At the same time, Amazon MGM Studios’ “A Working Man,” directed by David Ayer, beat expectations with a $15.2 million debut. Co-written by Sylvester Stallone, “A Working Man” reteams Statham and Ayer following last year’s successful “The Beekeeper” ($162 million worldwide). This time around, Statham plays a construction worker with an elite military past.
While reviews have been mixed and audiences only gave “A Working Man” a “B” CinemaScore, showing Statham has carved out something rare in the movie industry today: bankability. “A Working Man” opened similarly to “The Beekeeper,” which launched with $16.5 million.
The bigger headline, though, might have been the fast erosion of ticket buyers' appetite for “Snow White.” The film, directed by Marc Webb and starring Rachel Zegler, had been hoped to lift movie theaters after a painful start to 2025. Produced for more $250 million, the film has turned into a poisoned apple, with a two-week global haul of $143.1 million.

Hey, Mark Deuce. I'm excited to see A Working Man! I could write a film that's similar to it. Action is one of the main genres I write. My script would be about a group of blue-collar workers who become vigilantes after a series of major crimes rocks their city. No flashy hero suits or gadgets, and they'd have limited resources, so they would have to use their wits and skills to take down a dangerous, untouchable crime syndicate. It'd be called Hard Work (working title).

I made a short like this. Profession: grave digger. Lives at the cemetery and when the mob has a funeral he blows up the place. Looks awesome when he takes cover behind his front door and the rest of the cottage flies away.
