But his wife Jennifer Garner called me and told me that he took a basketball with him to rehab. She said: "Gavin, he asks to tell you, please, do not close the picture ... He really wants to star in it, "he said. According to the director, he was able to meet with Affleck a week later when "he went through the first round of treatment." "We spent half a day together trying to work out a schedule that would be acceptable to him, since it was important for him at that moment to recover and try to get on the path of sobriety," O'Connor added. that, despite its best efforts, Beyond the Game had a very modest result on its premiere weekend, grossing only $ 8.5 million.
