[ad_1]

<div _ngcontent-c14 = "" innerhtml = "

John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum started off staggeringly this weekend, with a start of a national weekend of $ 57.025 million frankly superb. That includes $ 22.6 million Friday, including $ 5.9 million in Thursday's previews. It's a record opening weekend for Lionsgate outside the last dusk after (Breaking Dawn Part II) and the four Hunger Games movies. After serious underperformance Hellboy and Longshot, John Wick 3 was the anti-hero they needed. This is also the second opening weekend of Keanu Reeves (without inflation) behind the launch of 91 million dollars Friday-Sunday (on a first match of 134 million dollars Thursday-Sunday) of The matrix reloaded in 2003.

Heck, adjusted for inflation, it is only behind Bram Stoker's Dracula & nbsp;($ 30.5 million in 1992/64 million adjusted), & nbsp;Matrix Revolutions & nbsp;($ 48 million in 2003/70 million adjusted, or what they achieved during the first four days of their debut Wednesday / Sunday at $ 84 million) & & nbsp;Matrix Revolutions & nbsp;($ 91 million in 2003/134 million dollars adjusted, which is ironically what he had won in his debut this Thursday-Sunday in 2003). This opening of boffo means that Lionsgate's small accidental franchise could now go hand-in-hand with the larger non-group action franchises. John Wick now sits alongside James Bond, Ethan Hunt, Jason Bourne and Bryan Mills.

This opening weekend is higher than the opening weekend of $ 49 million ($ 55 million adjusted for inflation) of Liam Neeson's revenue. Taken 2. It's just between the opening weekend of $ 55 million Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation in 2015 and the Friday to Sunday debut of $ 61 million Mission: Impossible – Fallout in 2018. & nbsp; This is what is behind the opening weekends of Daniel Craig 007's last three films between $ 67 and $ 88 million (Quantum of Solace In 2008, Sky Fall in 2012 and Spectrum in 2015), but it's the same thing as The Bourne Supremacy ($ 52 million in 2004), The Bourne Ultimatum ($ 69 million in 2007) and Jason Bourne ($ 59 million in 2016).

With all due respect, most of these films are PG-13 action movies featuring a huge movie star, a rarefied property and / or a large studio. While Lionsgate is the biggest of the mini-majors (and so is in a privileged position to release an excused actor from Grindhouse as John Wick) and Keanu Reeves is loved worldwide, it is an R-rated franchise entirely made from whole fabrics and rooted in the quality and power of each character. Tom Cruise (or Harrison Ford) is not on the show but is not featured in a beloved TV show either (Impossible mission or The fugitive) or a beloved literary series (Robert Ludlum Bourne books or the Tom Clancy Jack Ryan series).

The closest comparison would be the Taken series (which was an action franchise based on nothing on Liam Neeson with Bryan Mills), but even those who received much inferior reviews (especially the sequels) and culminated in the first sequel. For a third installment of a series that began in the form of a studio pickup at the last minute, you will find yourself here in the third round … whoa.

The first John Wick, written by Derek Kolstad and co-directed by Chad Stahelski and David Leitch (who later directed Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2 and Hobbs and Shaw) was published in late October 2014 as a result of rave reviews, a solid buzz and a certain generational credence for its great leader. The kids who grew up worshiping Reeves for a lot of iconic movies (Bill and Ted, Point Break, Speed, The matrix, etc.) were now old enough to be the critical institution, and we would no longer disrespect one of our most captivating interpreters.

The film was to start with $ 7 million, but the positive variables turned it into a first weekend of $ 14.4 million. C $ 43 million national and $ 86 million in the world on a budget of $ 30 million. This is not an obscene figure, but the action has had the advantage of constituting a continuation which could well be an evasive continuation in blue. For those who arrive late, the film has good reviews, powerful word-of-mouth and long legs, which leads the public to discover late in his theatrical career and constantly in his post-theatrical life. And then, therefore, the sequel only removes the predecessor at the opening weekend, because all he has won benevolence is worth it.

Think, for example, Austin Powers: The Spy That Moved Me, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Do not Tell Stories, Scream 2, Perfect Pitch 2, The black Knight and, oh yes, The matrix reloaded. So it's with Lionsgate's John Wick: Chapter 2. With even better reviews and a clear improvement in production values ​​and visual pizzazz, director Chad Stahelski and director Derek Kolstad John Wick 2 surpassed the double of the opening weekend of its predecessor with a launch of $ 30.4 million in February 2017. More impressive, it was lighter than the first film and reported $ 92 million US and 171 millions of dollars worldwide with a budget of 40 million dollars.

And now we are here, with the $ 55 million budgeted (approximately) John Wick: Chapter 3 continue to ride this wave of public goodwill. It is useful that the reviews are so good, the film is beautiful and elegant enough to require a theater. Keanu Reeves has charmed the pants of the Internet in recent weeks. I'm not going to say that his cameo in the trailer of Netflix rom-com Always be my maybe (starring Ali Wong and Randall Park) was a huge factor, but this trailer just came out at the right time on Thursday morning for a new series of "we love Keanu" online.

And so, John Wick: Chapter 3 is a sequel to an escape sequel that explodes just as much as the second movie, which is almost unprecedented. It's not open like The Bourne Ultimatum or Sky Fall (a weekend opening 33% higher than The Bourne Supremacy and Quantum of Solace respectively) but, (surprisingly) as Captain America: Civil War& nbsp; and Toy Story 3. & nbsp;

Civil war added Iron Man as a co-star, an Avengers band, an Avengers fight scene against Avengers as well as intros for Spider-Man and Black Panther, while playing the lead role of Avengers: the era of Ultron. It opened with $ 179 million, a jump of 88% over The Winter SoldierOpening weekend of $ 95 million. Toy Story 3 11 years of inflation and three-dimensional relief. Its opening has increased by 92% ($ 110.3 million) compared to Toy Story 2 ($ 57.4 million from an early Thanksgiving Sea-Sun of $ 80 million in 1999).

John Wick: Chapter 3 offered some new fun cast members (Halle Berry for example), but if not more of the same. Yet he opened 87.5% more than John Wick: Chapter 2. As for the wide version three years after the release of the large version (which has not decreased since the first payment), it may be a record opening weekend. It's certainly almost unprecedented with these specific variables.

There were franchises, like Spy Kids and Movie of horror, who opened tall, dived with the first suite and then roared with the third payout. Some franchises (the first three Fast and furious movies, Dark Knight, Scream, Perfect Pitch) opened so high during the second round that there was nowhere to go if it was down or just slightly up. There are also franchises that started in limited edition but whose suites have had big openings (like that of Robert Rodriguez El Mariachi saga). And there are many trilogies that have risen to a respectable degree every time, like the middle Fast and furious movies, The Lord of the Rings, X Men and Thor.

But go three times in a wide version each time (sorry Rocky or Nightmare on Elm Street) with this level of bump between the installments? The only comparison without "cheating" (start of vacation for one of the installments, limited early exit, 3D revival, decade of inflation or elements of high added value) is the Deadly weapon trilogy, from $ 7 million in 1987 to $ 20 million in 1989 to $ 33 million in 1992. Otherwise, John Wick is in a league entirely apart.

John Wick snatch almost never happens in modern franchise cinema. & nbsp; Whether it's legs like Mad Max: Fury Road ($ 3.3 million for $ 189 million) or play closer to Captain America: Civil War (still a $ 130 million domestic finish), the movie has the ambition to become the biggest star of the month of May (your move, Aladdin and Godzilla). It will not save Hollywood or anything, but the John Wick The franchise will be the all-too-rare example of a local, non-IP franchise, which is A) entirely original and rooted in the power of the stars, and B) moves from a B-level series to an A-level tent entirely based on the quality and good will towards his predecessors and his leader.

Is this the hope?
