]]>The feature reunites Gibson, Grillo, and director Joe Carnahan who worked together on the sci-fi thriller Boss Level.
Leo From Toledo tells the story of a former killer for the Kansas City mob, now hiding in witness protection, who has trouble with his memory.
Per the official logline: ”What he does remember he wants to forget. But what he has forgotten has now made him a hunted man with precious little time to save the one thing he has left: his estranged daughter and granddaughter.”
“Leo is the kind of movie I love to make, it’s funny and heartfelt with a ton of great action. Being able to work with Mel, and Frank again is a real gift. It rarely happens that you get to make films with the people you love and respect, so I consider myself blessed. I feel like Leo is a ‘return to form’ of sorts for Mel. The script allows him to be both funny and dramatic at different turns and I can’t wait to see what he does with that character,” Carnahan said.

]]>Analysts from PartyCasino did a research where they studied box-office data from 1980 to 2017 and made a conclusion that The Mighty Ducks star delivered the best money return than any other top-billed actor that appeared in at least 10 movies. Specifically, for every $1 spent on his movie, Emilio Estevez generated $6.70 at the box office. If you thought the surprises end here, wait to see the rest of the most profitable actors list.
Martial arts expert and star of Universal Soldier, Jean-Claude Van Damme, is placed second bringing $4.20 for each dollar spent. He is followed by Mel Gibson, who brings $3.50 for each dollar, while Tyler Perry and Dudley Moore with $3.00 close the top 5.
When it comes to actors who are considered Hollywood’s leading men, the numbers are not so great. For example, Fight Club star Brad Pitt only returns ten cents per every dollar spent, which makes him the least profitable actor in Hollywood. Pirates of the Caribbean actor Johnny Depp brings 20 cents, while Hollywood legend Robert De Niro returns 24 cents for every dollar.
Although the research didn’t have the extended data for actresses since “women, unfortunately, are less likely to be the top-billed actor for a movie,” PartyCasino’s analysts found that Rose Byrne is the most profitable actress in Hollywood, bringing $9.80 for every $1. Byrne is followed by Regina Hall ($3.50) and Octavia Spencer ($2.90).
The researchers analyzed the top 100 movies at the box office each year since 1980 in order to obtain the data.
