Released earlier this year, Edge of Darkness marked the first time in seven years Gibson had starred on the big screen.
It was viewed as a major test of the 54-year-old US-born, Australian-raised actor's star appeal in the aftermath of his drink-driving arrest and anti-Semitic rant toward an LA County sheriff at Malibu four years ago.
Gibson, once dubbed "The Sexiest Man Alive" and ranked highly on Hollywood's power lists, suffered a public image battering after the 2006 arrest. Then, a year ago, his wife of 29 years, Robyn Moore, divorced him and Gibson admitted new girlfriend Grigorieva was pregnant with his child.
