AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania is running out of steam at the box office. With $470 million globally, it’s not even close to matching the first two movies — which earned $519 million and $622 million, respectively.
as a legendary assassin, landed the best start of the franchise. It’s one of the rare original properties to keep growing and improving upon the last, in terms of ticket sales. The original “John Wick” opened to a modest $14 million in 2014, its sequel “John Wick: Chapter 2” took in $30.4 million to start in 2017 and the third film “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” previously marked a series-high with $56.8 million in 2019.
Even at two hours and 49 minutes, audiences were high on the R-rated “John Wick: Chapter 4,” which earned a coveted “A” CinemaScore. The film’s opening weekend audience was 69% male, while 70% were over the age of 25. Chad Stahelski directed the latest “John Wick,” which follows the titular hitman as he continues his fight against the powerful organization known as the High Table. Lionsgate has been coy about a fifth “John Wick” adventure, but nothing has been confirmed. However, Reeves and other cast members are returning for “Ballerina,” a spinoff story starring Ana de Armas.
“Shazam 2” slid to second place with $9.7 million from 4,071 venues as ticket sales cratered by 69% in its second weekend. It’s another dismal turnout for the quirky superhero adventure, starring Zachary Levi, which cost Warner Bros. and DC $110 million to produce and another $100 million to promote. So far, “Fury of the Gods” has earned $46 million in what’s shaping up to be one of the worst turnouts for a modern superhero movie.
