Jason Statham's new film, 'A Working Man,' where he plays a former black ops soldier engaging in a rescue mission, highlights the trend of action films centered on kidnapping plots. The film topped the box office on its opening day with $5.6 million, drawing parallels to the 'Taken' franchise. In contrast, other films released simultaneously include 'The Chosen: Last Supper, Part 1,' which earned $5 million, and the poorly received 'Snow White' remake, continuing to draw in crowds despite mixed reviews.
