The original “John Wick” opened to a modest $14 million in 2014, its sequel “John Wick: Chapter 2” took in $30.4 million to start in 2017 and the third film “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” previously marked a series-high with $56.8 million in 2019. After three weeks on the big screen, Paramount’s slasher sequel has generated a solid $89.8 million in North America and $49.4 million internationally. Disney’s latest Marvel sequel “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” has crumbled in the weeks following its huge $106 million debut. “Shazam 2” slid to second place with $9.7 million from 4,071 venues as ticket sales cratered by 69% in its second weekend. “Parabellum,” which is currently the highest grossing entry, left the big screen with $328.3 million globally. “I’m not going to give up hope there can’t be a ‘Wick 5.'” It cost more than $100 million to produce, giving it the highest price tag in the series. “This is a superb opening,” says David A.

John Wick: Chapter 5 Ft. Keanu Reeves Is Happening & 4th Wasn't ... (koimoi)

During a recent chat, John Wick: Chapter 4 director Chad Stahelski got candid about John Wick: Chapter 5 ft. Keanu Reeves. Read on.

[Google News](https://news.google.com/s/CBIwo7yAqUE) Stahelski recently indicated that John Wick 5 had been shelved for the time being as he and Reeves were creatively exhausted the release of Chapter 4.

Keanu Reeves in more 'John Wick' Movies, Wants Lionsgate's Joe ... (Deadline)

Lionsgate's Joe Drake Wants To See Keanu Reeves In More 'John Wick' Pics After 'Chapter 4' Franchise Record B.O. Debut: “We're Not Ready To Say Goodbye”.

Rather, emphasizing — per the exec — that “John Wick is not a superhero. It was commonplace back in the 1980s and 1990s for franchises to build big screen afterlives out of their popularity at home, Austin Powers being one of the great textbook examples. The first John Wick opened to $14.4M in October 2014 and finaled at $43M domestic, $86M WW. There’s a nice runway here, as I think the movie can run and run, given its CinemaScore.” What continually amazes is how John Wick is a non-superhero, original franchise, which has mushroomed at the box office after audiences found the first film in the home entertainment window and turned its sequels into tentpoles. There’s a chance that John Wick could find peace.” The fourthquel previously had a Memorial Day weekend release in 2022, before production delays pushed it to its current March 24-26 frame (Chapter 4 was finished at the end of last year). “I’ve seen this movie five times in the last week,” the exec says. The originally conceived Starz series (now moved to Peacock) John Wick spinoff, The Continental, is potentially eyeing a fall premiere, Drake telling us that, “The episodes are nearly finished.” Reeves already confirmed before a rapturous SXSW audience that he’ll be back for the John Wick spinoff, The Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas and directed by Len Wiseman. Drake told us that March seemed ripe, as Lionsgate had great luck on this weekend with the first Hunger Games ($152.5M opening). [Lionsgate](https://deadline.com/tag/lionsgate/) Motion Picture Group Chair [Joe Drake](https://deadline.com/tag/joe-drake/) had much to celebrate this morning.

John Wick: Chapter 4 review – enjoyably pulpy slaughterfest (The Guardian)

If the plot of the latest John Wick outing offers no surprises, the stunts are mind-boggling, and Donnie Yen and Scott Adkins are fun new faces.

And, just to remind us that we are in the hands of an action master, Stahelski delivers one extended, mind-bogglingly complicated fight sequence in what appears to be a single shot, the camera floating overhead. But even by the standards of the past Wick outings, this is remarkable. Human bodies are hurled into moving vehicles; Reeves’s double tumbles down the entire length of the Sacré-Coeur stairs.

Fury of the Gods](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/hollywood/zachary-levi-confirm-report-dwayne-johnson-sabotaged-shazam-2-black-adam-cameo-8512226/) slumped to second place with $9.7 million in its second weekend. Scream VI took third place with $8.4 million in its third weekend, bringing its total thus far to $90.4 million domestic and $139.3 million worldwide. The MGM release grossed $834,000. The release of John Wick: Chapter 4, which included a surprise premiere at SXSW, was also bittersweet. After ticket sales rebounded to about 67% of pre-pandemic levels last year, the release lineup is steadier and more packed this year. But the success of John Wick: Chapter 4 adds to a strong start in 2023 for Hollywood. Though John Wick has been bigger at the box office with each new release — an enviable and rare trajectory among Hollywood franchises — Chapter 4 brings some finality to Reeves’ character. But Chapter 4, running two hours and 49 minutes and costing at least $100 million to produce, is the biggest film yet in the once-lean action series. “Chad and Keanu have created this world and that world continues to expand. We saw the audience wanting more.” Since first launching in 2014 with John Wick ($14 million on its opening weekend), the Chad Stahelski-directed series has steadily grown as a ticket-seller with each sequel. It’s Lionsgate’s biggest success of the pandemic era.
