Mark Wahlberg's "The Family Plan" Achieves Great Success on Apple TV
Collider
Mark Wahlberg's recent filmography hasn't been particularly impressive. This situation has been disappointing for his fans, especially as projects like Mel Gibson's action thriller "Flight Risk," the Prime Video original heist thriller "Play Dirty," the action sequel "The Family Plan 2," and the football comedy "Balls Up" released during the FIFA World Cup have received negative reactions from both audiences and critics. Wanting to break this streak of disappointment, Wahlberg will collaborate with Riz Ahmed in the crime thriller "The Big Fix," directed by Baltasar Kormákur.
Wahlberg will also portray the character Gregory Scarpa in Paramount Pictures' film "By Any Means," which will be released on September 4. Additionally, he will star in the sports comedy-drama titled "Weekend Warriors," featuring names like Vera Farmiga, Wood Harris, Mark Linn-Baker, and Yakov Smirnoff. While fans await Wahlberg's new projects in cinema, one of his most popular projects, "The Family Plan," has achieved significant success. Despite mixed reviews, this film has managed to be one of the best-performing original films on Apple TV.
The film, in which Wahlberg shares the lead role with Michelle Monaghan, tells the story of a car salesman living a quiet life. However, there is a secret that his family doesn't know: he is a covert assassin. Featuring actors like Zoe Colletti, Saïd Taghmaoui, Van Crosby, Ciarán Hinds, and Maggie Q, "The Family Plan" stands out as one of the most exciting films on Apple TV, maintaining its relevance even three years later. As of the date of this writing, "The Family Plan" has officially surpassed 800 days in the top ten films on Apple TV in the U.S.
