Lionsgate’s John Wick: Chapter 4 is targeting a massive USD 65 million to USD 70 million in its opening weekend at the US box office. This would be a record for the franchise and more than enough to wipe out the competition, including Shazam!, which is still in theatres. Fury of the Gods.
Keanu Reeves reprises his role as the skilled assassin known by his alias, Baba Yaga, in the most recent episode of the massively successful action franchise.
The critical reception to the film has been very positive, and Keanu Reeves continues to enjoy the same level of fame that he did in the past. It has received a score of 95 % from the reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes, which is the highest ranking of any John Wick movie to date.
One difficulty is that the duration of John Wick 4 is almost exactly three hours, which results in fewer available showing times.
The picture, which was directed by Chad Stahelski and features the usual mayhem, brutality, balletic physicality, and grim humor that have come to define the action genre, is jam-packed with all of these elements.
In addition to Donnie Yen and Ian McShane, the cast also includes Hiroyuki Sanada, Shamier Anderson, Rina Sawayama, Bill Skarsgard, Laurence Fishburne, and the late Lance Reddick, who passed away earlier this month. Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, and Stahelski are responsible for producing the movie.
When taking into account the effects of inflation, the opening weekend for John Wick: Chapter 3 —Parabellum, which was released in 2019, brought in a total of USD 56.8 million domestically.
In addition to playing on thousands of conventional screens throughout the course of the weekend, John Wick 4 will also be screened in Imax and other premium formats for the duration of the weekend. These previews will take place on Thursday night.
