The box office report for the past week is here and there is a lot to discuss.
John Wick Chapter 4 opened this past weekend and set a new franchise record for its openings. It managed to crush expectations and opened to a massive $73.5 million at the domestic box office, which is a new high for the franchise. It’s also become the biggest R rated opening for the post COVID era. The film also managed to break records over seas as well as it brought in a big $64 million for a worldwide total of $137.5 million. This bodes very well for the series as they are planning multiple spin-offs for this series and clearly people are interested in this franchise now more then ever.
However the same can’t be said for DC films. This is as Shazam Fury Of the Gods didn’t stand a chance against MR Wick as it fell a massive 67.7% in its second weekend. It only brought in a small $9.7 Million for a domestic total of an embarrassing $46.3 million. The international market won’t save this film either as it only made $12.1 million for a $102.4 million. It’s a shame this film has flopped as its a very fun film, however I don’t think Zachery Levi basically begging people online to see the movie did it any favours. Warner Brothers Discovery better hope their future movies this year have audiences more interested otherwise it could be a disastrous year for the company and the brand overall.
Scream 6 is till doing good in its third weekend as it brought another $8.4 million in and has now surpassed the domestic total of last years Scream for a total of $89.9 million. It is expected to pass $100 million domestic something that hasn’t been achieved by the franchise since Scream 2.
Creed 3 is another long running brand that is also doing very well this year as in its fourth weekend it made another $8.4 million domestic and $5.4 million overseas. It now has a worldwide total of $245.9 Million. It comes out on digital this coming weeks so we will have to see how that will affect the box office for next weekend.
That’s it for the box office this week, did you go and see John Wick Chapter 4 and what did you think of it?
