Success of “The Accountant”
When “The Accountant” was released in 2016, critics presented it with mixed reviews. But the film had the last laugh. It wasn’t just a cinema hit, grossing $86M domestically; it also became an unprecedented hit at home, becoming the most rented film of 2017.
It beat massive names, including popular flick “Moana”. Looking back, many might feel those initial reviews were too hard. Our man Affleck, who plays a highly skilled forensic accountant with autism, shined in his role. The film’s popularity proves precisely that.
The Accountant: Who is He?
Remember, this is an action-packed film where Affleck demonstrates high-grade fiscal tracking skills to fight financial deception.

Looking Ahead to “The Accountant 3”

If the first movie’s reception is anything to go by, we’re hopeful for another box office buster. Unravel the adventure, understand the conspiracy, and prepare for a thrilling experience as “The Accountant” returns!
