Things We Saw Today: John Wick 3 Earns the Franchise a Deadly $182 Million

Keanu Reeves and Anjelica Huston in John Wick- Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019).

The John Wick franchise has just crossed another milestone with its third installment, Parabellum, becoming the highest grossing film in the franchise taking home a worldwide total of $182 million according to Collider. Parabellum was the most expensive of the Wick films to date with a budget of $75 million, in comparison to the 20–30 million for the first and 40 million for the second, but considering both films doubled their budget, it was a safe bet that the Wick fever was worth the increase. Plus Halle Berry.

I loved Parabellum a lot and found it both a deeply rewarding film as an action piece, but also super compelling in how it managed to be a fantastically diverse film that doesn’t skimp on the bloodshed and action. A fourth Wick film is set to arrive on May 21, 2021 and I can not wait to see how they attempt to top this next one.

Just bring back Halle Berry, please cause woof on so many levels.
