The Accountant 2

Christian Wolff, the forensic accountant with a talent for violence, is pulled back in when an old acquaintance is murdered, and brings in his estranged brother Braxton to help. Gavin O'Connor returned to direct, with Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Daniella Pineda and J.K. Simmons, shot by Seamus McGarvey for Artists Equity and 51 Entertainment.

Much of the film lives at night. Night exteriors are the most expensive light in the business: they burn schedule waiting for darkness, they are hostage to weather, and once the sun is down the crew is racing a clock that cannot be extended.

Atmospheric nighttime environments were built and played on a controlled LED volume workflow, with stylized lighting and simulation giving the production control over conditions that a real night exterior would have dictated to them.

The film premiered at SXSW on 8 March 2025, went to US theatres on 25 April and to Prime Video on 5 June. It took 103.3 million dollars worldwide against an 80 million dollar budget.
