Baby Driver
Edgar Wright makes marvelous movies. That said, they’re normally appreciated when they hit home video more than when they’re still on the circuit. A musical crime caper like Baby Driver is a good example of something that could’ve easily gotten lost in the pack and then become a DVD classic.
This time, though, a lot of people took notice of Wright’s film, as it brought in a whopping $225 million from a budget of $34 million. Maybe it was the stellar cast that included Jon Hamm, Jamie Foxx, and Ansel Elgort? Or perhaps it was the thumping soundtrack from yesteryear that got our attention? More than likely it was the sum of all its parts that made Baby Driver such an unforgettable movie.
What’s even more remarkable is how successful the film was with a June release date in the U.S. and U.K. It had to contend with the likes of Wonder Woman, The Mummy, and Cars 3, but it still managed to stand its own ground and bring in a tidy kitty.
