All hail Baba Yaga! The unstoppable assassin has just powered the John Wick franchise past the billion dollar mark.
John Wick: Chapter 4, the most recent entry to the action franchise, achieved remarkable success both critically and commercially. It amassed a staggering $426 million worldwide, surpassing all previous films in the franchise to claim the title of the highest-grossing installment. By comparison, Chapter 3 – Parabellum accumulated $327.7 million, Chapter 2 earned $174.3 million, and the first film in the series brought in $86 million.
With its current worldwide box office earnings reaching $1,011,319,297, the fourth film in the Keanu-led franchise has yet to make its debut in Japan, which is scheduled for later this year. Speaking about the franchise's extraordinary achievement, Joe Drake, Chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, expressed his delight, stating:
This milestone is a testament to the incredible work of Chad Stahelski and Keanu Reeves, alongside Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, who have made it their mission to outdo themselves with each successive film in this franchise. We could not be more grateful to global moviegoers for bringing us to this incredible achievement.
