“We know how good our movie is," said Chris Aronson, distribution chief for Paramount. “I know it's been said before, but I think opening to $38-39 million is just the start. These kind of exits polls translate to playability." “The challenge with this film is convincing everyone that this film is for you,” said Aronson. “Jonathan and John, these guys are really talented and great collaborators. We’re going to work more with them. Hopefully, this will be the start of a franchise.”, slid to second place in its second weekend with $28.2 million. While a sizeable dip, the assassin action film, starring Keanu Reeves, has already accrued $122.
“While it may not be the highest grossing March ever, this is one of the best months of March for the industry in its history, coming off of three years of a pandemic-challenged marketplace," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for data firm Comscore."March is not the summer, but it's sure felt like the summer, with hit after hit.”
