John Wick: Chapter 4 is in theaters now, having opened with Thursday night previews. The Lionsgate action movie starring Keanu Reeves had a franchise-best $8.9 million in Thursday night box office figures in the US, according to Deadline.
That is ahead of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, which made $5.9 million in its Thursday evening showings in May 2019 before the onset of the pandemic. That movie went on to earn $22.6 million on day one and $56.8 million over its first three days.
John Wick: Chapter 4 is expected to do even better, with projections saying it could earn as much as $70 million for its opening weekend in the US. That would be the best opening weekend for the John Wick series.
