Despite an inevitably abject response from critics, Taken 3 has followed in the footsteps of its predecessors and made $93m at the worldwide box-office, doubling its budget (£20m of which was given to Liam Neeson to drag him out of franchise retirement). It might be an acquired taste (to say the least), but fans respond the only way that matters, throwing dollars in, and basically guaranteeing that the sequel that was set up at the end of Olivier Megatons latest will happen sooner rather than later. And all of that from a franchise that the lead star first wasnt even convinced would get a cinematic release and then closed the door on pretty definitively only a matter of two years ago. Clearly fans cant get enough of tough talking, hard hitting Bryan Mills, but even the most ardent might not know these facts about his franchise
