Breitbart Reports: Director Antoine Fuqua’s The Equalizer 3 is making chumps of box office projections with a Labor Day weekend haul that could go as high as $44 million by Tuesday morning. Over the normal Friday to Sunday box office, the mighty Denzel Washington is barreling towards a possible $37 million.

If those numbers hold, part three will top the original Equalizer’s (2014) $34 million opening and part two’s $36 million. That would be quite an achievement but not surprising.

Denzel Washington is one of the only remaining movie stars out there, and by “movie star,” I don’t mean someone who stars in movies. A true movie star opens movies. A true movie star earns the public’s trust — we trust him to choose great projects.

A true movie star doesn’t insult the customers on Twitter. A true movie star doesn’t wear us out with his constant presence. A true movie star captures and holds public goodwill and affection.
