It’s been over a decade since Keanu Reeves saw box office fireworks with The Matrix trilogy and we’re far removed from his ability to open something like 2005’s Constantine and 2008’s The Day the Earth Stood Still to $30 million debuts. Expectations are considerably lower for this Friday’s John Wick, starring Reeves as a hitman out for vengeance.
Wick is much more likely to see an opening similar to the star’s 2008 pic Street Kings, which got off to a $12.4M start. Despite its so far favorable reviews, Wick‘s TV spots and trailers probably haven’t done enough to cause action fans to flock to it. It also doesn’t help that it has direct competition in the form of Fury‘s sophomore weekend. I’ll predict this barely gets past double digits for a lackluster beginning and that most genre fans will wait for VOD and cable for this.
John Wick opening weekend prediction: $11 million
