With the latest JohnWick movie conquering theaters, we investigate whether or not JohnWickChapter4 is the most popular movie in the franchise.
Everyone loves a good action movie. From the original Terminator back in 1984 to last year’s Brad Pitt-lead Bullet Train, audiences have flocked to see things get blown up real good for decades.
And yet, John Wick persisted, grossing decent enough numbers to justify its small $20 million to $30 million budget. An $86 million total gross doesn’t sound like a lot for an action movie, but with its tiny budget and non-existent marketing campaign, the movie was able to make a tidy profit from its theatrical run.
While Chapter 4 had the highest budget of all the John Wicks at $100 million, that’s still pretty conservative when compared to other blockbusters like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which cost at least $200 million. Chapter 4‘s immediate success showcases the likability and endurability of Wick’s assassin hero, who could only be played by someone as coolly remote as Keanu Reeves. It’s the perfect marriage of an actor and a role, and it’s largely why people keep coming back for more.
It worked. With a slightly bigger but still lean budget of $40 million, John Wick: Chapter 2 more than doubled the original’s worldwide gross. Part of the reason why was the cast, which expanded to include the rapper Common as Cassian, comedian John Leguizamo as Aurelio, Ruby Rose as Ares, and Reeves’ old Matrix co-star Laurence Fishburne as the Bowery King.
