John Wick 4, which is distributed by Lionsgate, Thunder Road Pictures, and 87 Eleven, is off to a solid start at the worldwide box office. The film’s distribution in other countries began on Wednesday. According to the numbers we’ve been hearing, the early estimated cume has reached approximately $3.9 million through Wednesday, including the releases in Australia and New Zealand, which took place on Thursday. According to estimations provided by the industry, Thursday’s domestic previews of roughly $8 million are aiming at a franchise’s best. This was reported by Anthony.
John Wick 4 Box Office
This will be the largest day-and-date footprint for the franchise, which has traditionally tended to release its films in a staggered fashion. This weekend will see the debut of the Keanu Reeves film in 71 different worldwide box office countries. The global forecast heading into the weekend is $115 million, of which $45 million is expected to come from overseas.
In 2019, the international debut of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum brought in $36.9 million, contributing to the overall gross of $93.75 million, which was a prior global record start for the franchise. Although Germany, France, and Spain are shown in the first frame of Chapter 4, Parabellum’s opening suite did not include them. Chapter 4 does, however, begin with those three key territories.
According to our information, the paid Wednesday previews in Latin America brought in a total of $994K, with Brazil coming in front with $328K, followed by Mexico with $240K. A positive sign for the next weekend is the fact that only roughly 60 percent of cinemas in Latin America held sneak previews. To promote the film, Reeves appeared at CCXP in Brazil in December of last year.
Premieres have also taken place not too long ago at the Grand Rex in Paris and the Zoo Palast in Berlin. In Germany, which has consistently been one of the top markets for the John Wick movies, Wednesday evening previews brought in an estimated $635K, a figure 40% higher than the previous installment. On Thursday, regular showings of the film began on more than 800 screens, making it the most widely distributed R-rated title in the market in the past ten years.
With $543 thousand from 557 screens, France was the country that gave the film directed by Chad Stahelski its first No. 1 spot. Even though the country is being rocked by social unrest, with demonstrations taking place in major cities, the start was 35% better than JW3. On AlloCiné, John Wick 4 has the highest ratings from both critics and viewers of the entire series.
With an anticipated $418K, John Wick 4 topped the Taiwan box office, up 17% over JW3 and 273% over the previous weekend’s opener Shazam! Fury of the Gods.

The opening day in Australia brought in $681 thousand from 259 screens, bringing the total to $1 million when including the previews shown on Wednesday. The first day of the John Wick 4 accounted for 66% of the total box office and came in 56% ahead of JW3. After Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 2, this was Studiocanal’s biggest opening day. Since Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2, this has been the best opening day for a non-studio release.
With the success of John Wick 4’s premieres in Sweden ($100K) & Finland ($74K) on Wednesday, New Zealand filled out the top starts with $140K through Thursday, 36% higher than JW3. The launch in Sweden was 105% more successful than JW3, while the launch in Finland was on par with that movie.
The United Kingdom and Spain both start their seasons today. In general, the most lucrative markets for the brand have been a combination of the United Kingdom (UK), Germany (Germany), Mexico (Mexican), Australia (Australia), and Korea (Korea) – the latter launching in April along with the Middle East. The Japanese departure is in the autumn.
