John Wick 3 Snaps Away No. 1 Spot From Avengers

(Bloomberg) — After three weekends at the top of the box office, Walt Disney Co.’s Avengers: Endgame handed over the crown to Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.’s John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
The third film in the “Wick” series, which depicts a hit man seeking vengeance after the death of his dog, brought in $57 million in U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to research firm Comscore Inc. That exceeded estimates that ranged from $48 million to $52.5 million.
Two other new releases — A Dog’s Journey from Universal and The Sun Is Also a Star from Warner Bros. — opened in fourth and eighth place, respectively.
Key Insights
- Keanu Reeves has built a cult following for the John Wick character, who appears this time alongside Halle Berry.
- The film benefited from strong reviews and a cliffhanger ending to the previous installment in 2017.
- The film also benefited from a rating of 89% on rottentomatoes.com
- In the tear-jerking sequel A Dog’s Journey, a reincarnating dog continues caring for loved ones like in the first film, A Dog’s Purpose.
- A film adaptation of Nicola Yoon’s novel The Sun Is Also a Star follows two budding lovebirds through touristy spots in New York during their final day before the female lead and her immigrant family face deportation.
