Liam Neeson The Mongoose box office, Digi Mart USA News: Liam Neeson’s new action thriller The Mongoose has been officially dropped from 826 theaters after only one weekend, falling from 1,014 locations to 188 following a disappointing domestic opening of $464,421.
The Samuel Goldwyn Films release debuted on October 30, 2026, averaging just $458 per theater over its first three days. According to the publisher’s report, the film’s modest opening suggested audiences were not turning out for the title, leaving exhibitors with little reason to keep it on screens.
The second weekend offered no recovery. The Mongoose earned $79,842, an 83% decline, bringing its domestic total to approximately $777,000. That is a weak result for a film that initially opened in more than 1,000 theaters.
The story is set against Neeson’s track record with action thrillers such as Non-Stop, The Commuter and The Ice Road, which have often performed well in theaters. The report notes that mid-budget action films have increasingly found audiences on streaming platforms instead.
The Mongoose stars Neeson as Ryan “Fang” Flanagan, a war veteran who accidentally kills his ex-wife’s abusive fiancé in self-defense, then steals a Shelby Mustang and leads police on a cross-country chase. Marisa Tomei, Ving Rhames, Michael Chiklis and Marcus Thomas co-star, and the film is directed by Mark Vanselow.
According to the publisher, no streaming premiere date has yet been announced for the film.
