John Wick: Chapter 4 box office collection made records on debut as the film opened this weekend with North American ticket sales estimated at an impressive $73.5 million, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Sunday.
According to the reports, Analyst David A. Gross called John Wick: Chapter 4 box office collection “a superb opening,” noting that each Wick sequel has managed to outdo its predecessors.
Reactions to the “John Wick” newest part have been mostly favorable: The Washington Post praised the movies for their “clean and well-choreographed action sequences” though some reviewers felt the body count (more than 100 per movie!) was a bit excessive. The choreography of the 4th part largely credited to director Chad Stahelski, himself a former stunt man. Starring along with Reeves, in a tale that has the titular hitman fighting a powerful international crime group — are Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgard and Laurence Fishburne.
