Non-Stop (Collet-Serra, 2014)
“Non-Stop,” produced by a team led by Joel Silver, cost about $50 million to make and was financed independently. Universal Pictures paid $13 million for domestic distribution rights. Without Neeson in the starring role, a B-movie script like that of "Non-Stop" would never get made, but because he got on board, the potentially uninteresting project became a financial success. 
Although the film's R-rating ensures it won't reach as broad an audience as Neeson is used to, surprisingly positive reviews and a strong international market
Neeson's movie, Non-stop, respectably given its R-rating, opened to $28.9 million in February.
Reaping $202.4 million world wide.
Rated- PG 13
Imitation game (Tyldum, 2014)
The Imitation Game, evidently, brings together the actor, role and subject matter desired by every distributor and financier. With a debut of £2.74m (including £47,000 in previews) from 459 screens, delivering a robust average of £5,975, the film has landed at the top end of industry expectations.
Rotten Tomatoes review: 'The story, though considerably altered to make it more dramatic, is an interesting one, and Turing and Clarke's relationship is compelling in the film. Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley both give great performances in this film.'
