Unfortunately, that movie reached theaters in the shadow of yet another school shooting, and audiences likely didn’t want to pay to escape reality by watching another person with a gun.
Peppermint comes from Pierre Morel, who helmed Liam Neeson’s original Taken (good!) and John Travolta’s From Paris With Love (bad!).
It’s interesting that the movie will try to fill a time slot — Autumn — where Bruce Willis attempted to bring back Death Wish, and failed miserably.
We’ll know when we get closer to the movie’s release date on September 7.
