“Usually the studio does not announce the start of work on the sequel until the end of the release of the first film, but in the case of Wanted, we decided to make an exception. Already after the first week of distribution, it became clear that the film was becoming a cult movie,”said Universal's producer Mark Plath, Interfax reports.
At a press conference last Monday, Vadim Ivanov, Commercial Director of Universal Pictures Russia, said that after the first weekend the film grossed $ 84.1 million worldwide, coming out on top at the box office.

Most film critics attribute Bekmambetov to the role of the director who renewed the visual language of American cinema. “The film of the Russian director“Wanted”stands out from the bunch of films this summer. He gave the action a new extreme. Bekmambetov has created an adrenaline-fueled, ultraviolet film with effects not seen since the Matrix era,”writes The New York Times.
