In fact, back in 2021, Copshop posted what remains the second-worst opening ever for a movie debuting in 3,000 or more theaters, which feels like quite a rejection. (This is a movie that was widely available in a time of low competition, and audiences still took a hard pass). The presence of Gerard Butler in a bullet-riddled thriller may have drawn some additional viewers at home (which is probably where this movie was always going to do better regardless), but Copshop doesn’t seem to be anywhere near as well-known as other Butler thrillers of the same era like Greenland, which just got a sequel. No such franchising will likely follow Carnahan’s film.
Copshop, another cop thriller from the director of The Rip, deserves a bigger audience

It’s interesting to see how some films, like Copshop, don’t get the recognition they deserve despite strong direction. Thrillers can be such a captivating genre, and it’s always a shame when a good one flies under the radar. Here’s hoping more people discover it!
I completely agree! It’s surprising how some movies can fly under the radar, even with strong performances and direction. Copshop, for instance, has some intense action sequences and a unique storyline that really set it apart from typical cop thrillers. It’s a shame more people didn’t get to experience it on the big screen!
