It seems that Jason Statham, who is currently reigning as the king of action movies in 2025, with his latest film being this year’s highest-grossing action flick, might have a rival vying for his throne earlier than anticipated. With speculations about The Meg 3 and another Fast & Furious installment in Statham’s future, it’s clear that he will continue to play a significant role in the world of action filmmaking for some time. Nevertheless, one well-liked movie star might soon usurp his position atop the action cinema peak among the summer releases of 2025.
As a passionate movie enthusiast, I’ve been consistently impressed by Jason Statham’s string of box office triumphs in Hollywood over the past few years. His knack for starring in moderately budgeted action flicks that consistently rake in substantial profits is truly remarkable. The 2024 release, “The Beekeeper,” even managed to garner additional acclaim on streaming platforms after its successful run as the year’s initial theatrical blockbuster.
In and out of franchise films, Statham has solidified his position as a reliable draw at the box office. With the raw intensity and street-smart charm reminiscent of action legends like Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal, he’s filled a vital void in today’s market that craves authentic, hard-hitting action.
A Working Man Is 2025’s Biggest Action Movie (For Now)
The Film Has Made More Than $98 Million At The Worldwide Box Office
In the world of non-superhero films, the largest action movie of 2025 so far is A Working Man. Statham’s success with action movies has become a reliable label in Hollywood, and the latest film is no different. With a budget of $40 million, it seems that A Working Man needs to gross approximately $100 million to be considered successful. Although it hasn’t reached this figure yet, it has been released on VOD and streaming platforms in some territories, where it has undoubtedly stepped into profitability.
The significant achievements at the box office for the movie “A Working Man” stand out even more when contrasted with the broader 2025 film landscape, where action films haven’t left as lasting an impression. Interestingly, the less-established film, titled “The Amateur,” boasting a larger budget of $60 million, has fallen short compared to the Statham release, earning just $93 million so far. But, it was released more recently, and there’s still potential for it to catch up in its remaining theater run. Another film, however, appears poised to claim the top spot, and it might do so as soon as this week.
Ben Affleck’s The Accountant 2 Could Beat A Working Man’s Box Office This Week
The Accountant 2 Currently Sits Above $93 Million
It’s predicted that “The Accountant 2” will surpass the earnings of “A Working Man” at the box office this week, making Ben Affleck the top-earning action star of 2025. Currently, “The Accountant 2” has grossed over $93 million, and its daily and weekend figures continue to be substantially higher than those of “A Working Man,” given its more recent release. With a strong momentum, “The Accountant 2” is poised to break the $100 million mark soon, surpassing “A Working Man.
Given an $80 million budget, The Accountant 2 hasn’t quite reached profitability yet, but it’s certainly making progress. Since it’s being distributed by Amazon MGM studios, the movie will also contribute significantly to Prime Video, where it plans to debut. Although gauging profitability based on streaming success can be a bit tricky, The Accountant 2 appears to be meeting Amazon’s expectations and is expected to bring some level of return for the studio.
Tom Cruise Will Beat Jason Statham If Ben Affleck Doesn’t
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Has Begun Its International Rollout
It’s highly likely that Affleck’s and Statham’s films will be outperformed by the upcoming release of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. This film is expected to generate over $100 million domestically in its first weekend alone, making Tom Cruise the clear action movie champion of 2025. Even if the opening weekend falls short of these expectations, its global earnings are predicted to surpass $100 million within a few days.
The query about whether or not The Final Reckoning will be profitable continues, given it needs to surpass the box office record set by Mission: Impossible for success. Currently showing in some international markets, it’s made a promising start with positive reviews. However, there is still a significant distance for Tom Cruise’s film to turn a profit. Nonetheless, it’s almost guaranteed that The Final Reckoning will climb the charts and likely emerge as the top-grossing action movie of 2025, thanks to its grand scope and enduring franchise appeal.
As a follower, I’ve seen myself as a ‘Working Man’ contributing to the success of my star, but it seems like other movies and actors are poised to dethrone him as the action movie king of 2025. The Accountant 2 is expected to surpass A Working Man this week, with Cruise ultimately claiming the crown. The real question now is how swiftly Mission: Impossible will outshine each of these films.
