The Accountant 2 is an action thriller starring Ben Affleck as Christian Wolff, but it is Jon Bernthal as his brother Brax who carries the film, steals the show, and needs more star vehicles of his own.

The Accountant 2’s opening-day collection came closer to the release-day numbers of Free Guy’s $10.4 million and The Fall Guy ‘s $10.5 million. Meanwhile, the sequel is eyeing a three-day opening weekend between $23 million and $28 million in North America. It has been awarded an A—on CinemaScore.
