Action pic John Wick: Chapter 4 slashed up the weekend box office with a huge $73.5 million domestic opening from 3,855 theaters after earning glowing reviews and an A CinemaScore from audiences. Globally, it debuted to $137.5 million.
The fourth installment in the marquee Lionsgate action franchise easily scored a franchise-best debut, besting the $56.8 million opening of 2019’s John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum. It also marks Lionsgate’s biggest domestic opening of the pandemic era, as well as one of the best so far of 2023.

Directed by Chad Stahelski, the film is jam-packed with the usual mayhem, violence, balletic physicality and morbid humor that have come to define the action franchise. The cast also features Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgard, Laurence Fishburne, Hiroyuki Sanada, Shamier Anderson, Rina Sawayama, Ian McShane and the late Lance Reddick, who died earlier this month. The film is produced by Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee and Stahelski.
