John Wick Chapter 4 at US Box Office
There seems to be no slowing down John Wick Chapter 4, as the Lionsgate tentpole continued its box office streamrolling by bringing in another three-day total of $28 million this weekend. This brings the film to a cumulative North American total of $122.6 million, a figure that is expected to keep rising.
Now in its second week, the film did see a drop of 62%, having raked in 73.5 million USD in its premiere weekend. However, drops such as this are not uncommon, as many fans flock to see their favorite franchise films opening weekend, ballooning the box office totals over those first three days. Despite this fall, film has still helped Lionsgate crack a number of its own records at the movie theater. Its $73.5 million opening was a new high for the studio at the post-pandemic box office, and the hitman’s return to the cinema was also the largest haul of any R-rated film after COVID-19.
Following are the John Wick 4 collections worldwide after 8 days:
Domestic (60.6%)
$102,538,306
International (39.4%)
