The action sequel, led byBen AffleckandJon Bernthal,scored another $6 million at the domestic box office this weekend, only a 36% drop after previously falling 61% after its opening weekend. At the time of writing,The Accountant 2has grossed $50.8 million at the domestic box office and$25.1 million internationallyfor aworldwide total of $76 million.

WhileThe Accountant 2’s box office numberswon’t be remembered as one of the best of the year, it’s earned strong reviews from both critics and audiences.
