Jason Statham’s ‘Shelter’ Breaks Box Office Records in MENA

Despite a disappointing $5.5 million opening weekend in the U.S., the film Shelter has become a box office hit in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), earning $2.2 million. This surpasses the film’s earnings in China ($2.1 million) and the U.K. ($1.3 million). According to distributor Front Row Filmed Entertainment, nearly one-third of moviegoers in Saudi Arabia chose to see Jason Statham in Shelter, making it the biggest English-language film released in the region since September.
