These are all promising signs, so what went wrong? Primarily, Honor Among Thieves was simply too expensive to turn a profit, at least theatrically.

The film’s biggest international territories are the U.K. The film has grossed nearly $91 million domestically and another $111 million from overseas territories, for a running global haul of $202 million.
