Box Office: ‘Flight Risk’ Gets Off the Ground With $4.4 Million Opening Day


Mel Gibson and Mark Wahlberg's thriller 'Flight Risk' will lead another quiet January weekend at the box office.

Lionsgate held the review embargo for “Flight Risk” until preview screenings for a reason — critics have largely torn apart the movie, which marks Gibson’s directorial follow-up to his Oscar-nominated 2016 war drama “Hacksaw Ridge.” The drama, which stars Jared Harris as an English teacher who begins to look after his troubled student (Nicholas Hamilton), first debuted at the Heartland Film Festival back in October 2023. The latest adventure featuring Sega’s iconic video game speedster will get past a $225 million domestic total this outing, settling in as the ninth-highest-grossing title of 2024.
