The first attendance figures for John Wick 4 have fallen and the film is simply off to a spectacular start. In a single weekend, in the United States alone, Chad Stalhelski’s film starring Keanu Reeves took in $73.5 million, almost as much as the entire box office of the first episode which had generated a worldwide total of $86 million. It is obvious that the franchise has taken a “step” in terms of popularity, reaching today a more mainstream threshold, eager for a good show on the big screen. Worldwide, the film has already grossed 137.5 million dollars, again in a few days, which proves that the adventures of the hitman, widower and orphan of his dog, appeal internationally.

For comparison, John Wick 3 Parabellum had pocketed the sum of 56.8 million dollars for its first weekend of exploitation to finish at 327.7 million dollars worldwide. The expectations were therefore indeed present, with a marketing campaign that focused on the physical performance of Keanu Reeves, always very invested in stunts. Moreover, all the stuntmen who surround the project are also to be congratulated as the film multiplies the impressive moments, with the added bonus of the presence of Donnie Yen and Scott Adkins to deceive Keanu Reeves.

Finally, if we compare these figures with the latest American blockbusters, we see that John Wick 4 has surpassed the startup of Creed 3 and its 56.3 million dollars in one weekend in the United States. Shazam! Rage of the Gods is also outdated, having only raised $30 million in its first weekend, one of the biggest flops for a superhero movie. Of course, Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania remains in front with its 120 million dollars collected for its first (extended) weekend in the United States. We are monitoring the rest of the figures to keep you informed.
