‘Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard’ opened with $17 million over Father’s Day weekend last year and ended at $70 million.

The couple see an unexpected guest arrive at their home and its supernatural forces begin to rise.
Brandon was born in Norristown, PA, in 1978 and rose to fame as a graffiti artist while living in New York City in the mid-2000s.
He is revealed to be the underground graffiti artist secretly responsible for the popular, albeit misspelled, ‘Rod Stuart Love the Hamptons’ tag.
That’s when he sold a pitch for his first feature film ‘Pony Bush’ to Dimension.
Friends told Deadline that when the money came in, he went to Los Angeles, booked a room at the Chateau Marmont, and spent all the money.
A friend once asked Murphy “is it true that after Pony Bush you blew $60,000 in two months?” to which he replied with one of his famous bills “no, it was $80k in a month.”
Murphy is also an abstract artist and frontman for the LA-based band DOL – which stands for “Drunk Old Ladies”.
The Murphy brothers, who have worked on several films as a writing team, also host the Camp Goodboy podcast.
They invite guests to participate for satirical critiques of popular culture and current events.
