THE SEQUEL TO 2 GUNS, NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM UNIVERSAL PICTURES!

Trench was a deepcover DEA agent. Steadman was an undercover Naval Intelligence officer. Now, after racing headlong across the Southwest, desperately outrunning Feds and mobsters alike while trying to clear their names, Trench and Steadman are pulled into another impossible situation: brokering gun deals between the Russians and anti-government revolutionaries…from opposite sides. And little do they know, a Third Gun has her eyes set on the ultimate prize and she won’t go down without a fight. Creator Steven Grant (DAMNED, PUNISHER: CIRCLE OF BLOOD) returns along with original series cover artist Rafael Albuquerque (AMERICAN VAMPIRE) for more action comedy thrills!




3 GUNS #1
Written by STEVEN GRANT
Pencils by EMILIO LAISO
Cover by RAFAEL ALBUQUERQUE







Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg lead an all-star cast in "2 Guns", an explosive action film that tracks two operatives from competing bureaus who are forced on the run together. But there is a big problem with their unique alliance: Neither knows that the other is an undercover federal agent. For the past 12 months, DEA agent Bobby Trench (Washington) and U.S. naval intelligence officer Marcus Stigman (Wahlberg) have been reluctantly attached at the hip. Working undercover as members of a narcotics syndicate, each man distrusts his partner as much as the criminals they have both been tasked to take down. When their attempt to infiltrate a Mexican drug cartel and recover millions goes haywire, Trench and Stigman are suddenly disavowed by their superiors. Now that everyone wants them in jail or in the ground, the only person they can count on is the other. Unfortunately for their pursuers, when good guys spend years pretending to be bad, they pick up a few tricks along the way.

Denzel Washington as Bobby Trench
Mark Wahlberg as Marcus Stigman
Paula Patton as Deb
James Marsden as Quince
Bill Paxton as Earl
Edward James Olmos as Papi Greco
Allie DeBerry as Margie

As for all those wild predictions for Star Trek making over $80 million this weekend and $100 million in the four-day stretch to holiday Monday. Sorry to disappointing but like I said originally, Fat Chance! And those who thought it stood a remote chance of being as huge as Iron man, now is the time for a reality check. As it currently stands this movie is performing way under expectations domestically..

1. Star Trek Into Darkness = $66 million.

2. Iron Man 3 = $35.0M, total $337 million since release

They now have to bring those wild predictions down to an hopeful $75 million over the four day weekend. It's not even gonna beat the 2009 reboot of Star Trek's opening even though it opened earlier and had the benefit of the extra Monday holiday.

And don't hope too much on the international from either, it's projected around $35 million only this weekend. Debate all you want but this film was never going to suddenly become a huge hit when the last movie barely made a hit itself in the US and did terrible box office internationally. Expectations were way over the top, as bad as that film was I expected this sequel to make less, not more.

Star Trek (2009) domestic = $257 million, International = $127 million.

Iron Man (2008) domestic = $318 million, International = $266 million

Iron Man 2 (2010) domestic = $312 million, International = $311 million

Iron Man 3 (2013) domestic = $311 million, International = $698 million

So ends the ridiculous comparing of Iron Man movies to Star Trek, even the bad Iron Man Movies are more popular than yet another dumb action movie but set in space. Which is exactly what they've regressed Star Trek into.
