Keanu Reeves’ Last Five Films At The Worldwide Box Office(Photo Credit – Instagram)

Keanu Reeves needs no introduction; he is one of the greatest action heroes in Hollywood. His down-to-earth personality has increased the number of his fans exponentially. He is best known for his John Wick and Matrix franchises. He has also worked in dozens of voice roles. He reprised his roles at another time and in the last few years. Today, we are here with the actor’s report card showcasing the worldwide box office collection of his films. Scroll below for the deets.

Keanu has received multiple accolades in his career spanning four decades. In 2020, The New York Times ranked him as the fourth-greatest actor of the 21st century, and in 2022, Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Although he is one of the leading action heroes in the industry, Reeves...

Pulsar Content has boarded “Howl,” an anticipated movie executive produced by Leonardo DiCaprio and celebrated environmental activist Jane Goodall. The Paris-based company is executive producing as well as handling international sales and will introduce the project to buyers at the AFM in Las Vegas.

Unfolding through the animals’ perspective, the survival tale revolves around Harry, a recently orphaned family dog who finds himself home alone at the onset of winter in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, and forms an unlikely bond with a young wolf who is the last remaining member of a pack decimated by hunters. After initial fear and conflict, the lovable dog and wild wolf start to show each other their worlds, learn from each other and ultimately realize that they must cooperate in order to survive.

“Howl” was written by Christopher Monger (“The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill but Came Down a Mountain”) and will be directed by Elias E.

Here's a grim little action movie counterfactual: Would we have the current John Wick franchise if the first movie didn't have the bit where Theon Greyjoy and his goons murder John Wick's dog? It's a shocking moment from the 2014 action flick, and one that's left a bad taste in...

Despite its somewhat wordy title, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina is generating a great deal of excitement among action fans. The first trailer impressed and, following her memorable role in No Time to Die, this feels like the perfect project to cement Ana de Armas as a badass lead.

Underworld and Total Recall helmer Len Wiseman being tapped to direct raised eyebrows from the start given his hit-and-miss track record. Now, a new report from The Wrap (via ActioNewz.com) suggests he struggled to deliver on the John Wick franchise's promise of top-notch fight scenes.

The trade reveals that John Wick franchise helmer Chad Stahelski was enlisted to reshoot the majority of Ballerina (explaining its release date delay). The filmmaker came on board to improve the action and, as a result, additional photography was extensive.

There's even chatter on social media that Stahelski could have a "Directed by" credit if he wanted.

While much attention in the box office world has been on the catastrophic launch of Warner’s “Joker: Folie a Deux,” another new release this past weekend, “White Bird,” has deepened a two-month slump in theaters for distributor Lionsgate.

Beginning with the Eli Roth’s panned video game adaptation “Borderlands” in early August, the last six films from Lionsgate released in over 1,000 theaters each have grossed less than $50 million in the U.S. and Canada and have largely been critical busts. The other films include the actioner “The Killer’s Game” starring Dave Bautista, the horror title “Never Let Go” starring Halle Berry, the long-gestating remake of “The Crow” starring Bill Skarsgård and Francis Ford Coppola’s critically polarizing and audience alienating “Megalopolis.”

Lionsgate’s “White Bird,” a sequel to the inspirational film “Wonder” that hit $315 million worldwide for Lionsgate in 2017, opened last weekend in 1,018 theaters and grossed just $1.58 million. By comparison,...

Halle Berry is undeniably one of the biggest movie stars of all time. While she may have starred as Catwoman in a less-than-stellar film, her career boasts major highlights, including her Academy Award-winning performance in Monster’s Ball (2001), her portrayal of Storm in four X-Men films (2000–2014), a memorable role as a henchwoman in Swordfish (2001), and as Bond girl Jinx in Die Another Day (2002).

Additionally, she has had significant roles in Perfect Stranger (2007), Cloud Atlas (2012), The Call (2013), Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017), and John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019).

Berry has showcased her remarkable versatility throughout her career by taking on diverse projects. Nevertheless, her portrayal of Storm has left a lasting impression, and fans continue to adore her interpretation of the character.

Amid ongoing speculation about her potential return as Storm in the upcoming Avengers films, the actress recently shared her thoughts on an intriguing revelation from X-Men director Matthew Vaughn, who...

Halle Berry is one of the biggest movie stars of all time. That is a fact. Sure, she’s played Catwoman in that abomination of a movie, but her career includes major credits such as Monster’s Ball (2001), the role of Storm in four installments of the X-Men film series (2000–2014), the henchwoman of a robber in the thriller Swordfish (2001), and Bond girl Jinx in Die Another Day (2002).

She also has significant roles in Perfect Stranger (2007), Cloud Atlas (2012), and The Call (2013), as well as Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) and John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019).

Now, the popular actress has done it all in her career, appearing in various different projects and showing the diversity of her talent. Still, despite that, the role of Storm is going to stick with her forever, as the fans simply love her version of the character.

And while the speculations about her reprising the role in the...

American Animals director Bart Layton is assembling a new Hollywood dream team as Halle Berry joins Chris Hemsworth for the filmmaker’s upcoming thriller Crime 101. Berry, also known as the Master of Dog Fu (watch John Wick 3 – Parabellum), is fresh off her buddy comedy with Mark Wahlberg, The Union, while her latest horror film, Never Let Go, is lighting up silver screens this month. The Amazon MGM Studios project takes inspiration from Don Winslow‘s short story Crime 101, with Layton planning to release the film in theaters next year.

While plot details remain mysterious, Deadline says Crime 101 contains Heat-like elements. According to the synopsis for Winslow’s novella, the story focuses on a string of high-level jewel heists up and down the Pacific Coast Highway. The crimes have gone unsolved for years, mainly because the perpetrator has lived by a strict code he calls “Crime 101”. Police...

People keep asking if he’s back, and yeah – we’re thinking he is. Lionsgate’s John Wick, the revolutionary first film of the iconic action franchise, roars into theaters on November 3 & 6 for its 10th anniversary.

The Thunder Road/87eleven production John Wick tells the now-legendary story of the retired assassin’s (Keanu Reeves) quest for vengeance after thugs steal his car and kill his puppy, triggering the furious reemergence of the world’s deadliest and most-feared hitman.

John Wick was directed by Chad Stahelski, written by Derek Kolstad, and produced by Basil Iwanyk, David Leitch, Eva Longoria, and Michael Witherill.

The film solidified Reeves’ reputation as an action superstar while also beginning a billion-dollar film franchise.

In addition to Lionsgate’s four hit movies and upcoming spinoff film Ballerina, the John Wick universe includes an additional spinoff movie in the works about Donnie Yen‘s Caine assassin character, a...

Lionsgate has provided the first look at its new movie “Ballerina,” a spinoff of the popular John Wick franchise. The film stars acclaimed actress Ana de Armas as Eve Maccaro, a ballerina seeking revenge for her father’s death.

“Ballerina” takes place between 2019’s “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” and the upcoming fourth installment in 2023. In the movie, Eve Maccaro trains as a ballerina but then becomes an assassin after her father is killed. Like in “Chapter 3,” the film will feature the assassin group called the Ruska Roma, of which ballerinas are members.

While some fans were initially confused, Eve Maccaro is an original character created for “Ballerina” and not seen before in the John Wick movies. However, the film expands upon aspects from “Chapter 3” including the Ruska Roma. The trailer also hints John Wick himself, played by Keanu Reeves, and other familiar faces like Winston and Charon, may appear...

From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, or simply Ballerina, is an upcoming neo-noir action film directed by Len Wiseman and starring Ana de Armas. It is the first spin-off film in the critically acclaimed action franchise starring Keanu Reeves and revolves around the concept of ballerina assassins first introduced in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.

The spin-off film takes place between the third and fourth installments of the main-line movies focusing on Reeves’ John Wick. It is set to revolve around ballerina-assassin Eve Macarro, played by Ana de Armas, who is seeking revenge for her family’s murder. Here is everything you need to know about the movie, including its trailer, release date, plot, cast, and other details.

Ballerina Trailer

Ballerina stars Ana de Armas in the titular role and was first announced in 2017 after Lionsgate acquired a spec script from writer Shay Hatten.

Eve Macarro: “You’re him. The one they call the Baba Yaga. How do I start doing what you do?

John Wick: Looks like you already have.”

From director Len Wiseman, check out this epic first look at the highly anticipated Ballerina!

Taking place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the film follows Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.

The A-list cast includes Ana de Armas, Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Lance Reddick, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Norman Reedus, with Ian McShane, and Keanu Reeves.

This terrifically cut trailer will give you goosebumps.

This is epic, sexy and violent! And how nice to see Lance Reddick again! Flamethrower vs a Firehose!!!

Fans can’t wait for this latest chapter of the franchise! The John Wick...

The official trailer for Ballerina declares that vengeance has a new face…and that face belongs to Ana de Armas. But that doesn’t mean that this John Wick spinoff doesn’t also have an old face in it, as the trailer includes a snippet of the Baba Yaga himself, Keanu Reeves.

In addition to Ana de Armas and Keanu Reeves, the cast of the new addition to the John Wick franchise includes Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Lance Reddick, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Norman Reedus, and Ian McShane. Len Wiseman directs from a screenplay by Shay Hatten (John Wick 3 & 4).

John Wick director Chad Stahelski serves as a producer along with Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee.

“Taking place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the film follows Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma,” reads Lionsgate’s official synopsis.

Lionsgate has released the first trailer for From The World Of John Wick: Ballerina, or John Wick: Ballerina. Most people will probably just call it Ballerina, but risk-averse Hollywood really really wants you to know it’s connected to a thing you’re already familiar with. In John Wick 3: Parabellum, there’s a scene where Wick meets Eve Macarro, a professional ballerina dancer who’s training to become an assassin like him. While a cameo from Keanu Reeves will be in the movie, along with appearances from other John Wick characters, Ballerina is all Eve’s story. You’ll find out her motive (revenge for the death of her father) and how she plans to do it (track down the criminal with a specific tattoo). The original appearance of Eve was played by someone different, but Ana de Armas (Knives Out) will assume the role in Eve’s first feature.

After sharing a tease yesterday, Lionsgate has shared the first official trailer for their upcoming John Wick spinoff Ballerina, which stars Academy Award-nominee Ana de Armas in the lead role as a young assassin named Eve Macarro, who, after a tragedy, begins training in the ways of the Ruska Roma and plots her vengeance against those that wronged her family.

The film's official synopsis reads, "Taking place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the film follows Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma."

While the trailer does give us plenty of footage of the fan-favorite Cuban actress kicking all kinds of ass across the world, it wraps up with the most epic of cameos as the one-and-only Keanu Reeves reprises his iconic role as John Wick, a.k.a. Baba Yaga, and it looks like he'll...

The trailer for "Ballerina" is finally here! Oh, sorry, my mistake. The movie isn't actually called "Ballerina." It's called "From the World of John Wick: Ballerina," and before we go any further, let me just say that title stinks. Yeesh! Okay, now that that's out of the way, we're going to be calling the movie just "Ballerina." The new film is set in the John Wick universe, and introduces Ana de Armas as yet another highly-skilled assassin in a world full of highly-skilled assassins. But that's not all — Keanu Reeves' John Wick pops up in the trailer, too! Now, Reeves' presence might lead to some confusion, since the end of the incredible "John Wick: Chapter 4" really made it seem like our boy John was dead.

So how is John Wick back in this trailer? Has he been raised from the dead? Nope! As you might've guessed for yourself by now,...

The trailer for the long-awaited "John Wick" spin-off film "Ballerina" is finally here. Following a teaser clip that used a music box version of Beethoven's "Für Elise," the full trailer has provided a glimpse at what looks like a promising return to the Wick-verse.

"Live Free or Die Hard" director Len Wiseman is helming this latest off-shoot, which, frankly, has a lot riding on its shoulders. For a time, it seemed as though Hollywood could learn a few lessons about how to build a cinematic universe from the "John Wick" saga. But after the lifeless, pointless spin-off seres "The Continental," it started to look as though the impressive world-building of the movies could only really work in service of Keanu Reeves' relentless hit-man. What's more, the studio behind the films, Lionsgate, is coming off a string of box office duds that have put the company in serious jeopardy.

Now,...

We’ve been waiting for Ana de Armas to get a proper action movie ever since she was one of the standout Bond women in “No Time to Die.” Now she’s joining another iconic action franchise: the “John Wick” universe.

“Ballerina,” a spinoff movie within the “John Wick” franchise, has finally landed a trailer from Lionsgate. The long-awaited project originated as an original story by screenwriter Shay Hatten back in 2017; the script was re-written to bring it into the “Wick” universe of assassins. The titular ballerina killer was briefly introduced in “John Wick 3: Parabellum.”

Unlike Peacock’s “Wick” prequel series “The Continental,” “Ballerina” is set in between the events of the third and fourth “John Wick” movies and even features brief appearances from both Keanu Reeves and the late Lance Reddick. As Lionsgate film group president Adam Fogelson previously confirmed, the film avoids the fate of John Wick...

Halle Berry is hoping to get her own 'John Wick' spin-off movie. The 58-year-old actress starred opposite Keanu Reeves, 60, in 2019's 'John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum' as former assassin Sofia Al-Azwar, and has now revealed she has spoken to Lionsgate Films about continuing her character's story in a future blockbuster.When The Hollywood Reporter asked Berry if she had hoped to have returned in 'John Wick: Chapter 4', she said: "Yeah, I wish that would’ve happened, but that’s not the route they went [in 'Chapter 4']. "I thought that would’ve been a cool storyline. We talked about it, that’s for sure. We seeded it in 'John Wick: Chapter 3', and we’ve talked about a spinoff with Lionsgate that could potentially happen."While the actress insisted a possible Sofia Al-Azwar film was still in the pitching phase, the 'Catwoman' star emphasised...

To announce tomorrow's trailer launch, Lionsgate has shared the first teaser for Ballerina, their upcoming John Wick spinoff that will star Academy Award-nominee Ana de Armas in the leading role as a young assassin named Eve Macarro, who is training in the ways of the Ruska Roma, a group that was first introduced in John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum.

The film's official synopsis reveals the new film's place in the larger John Wick universe and how Keanu Reeves' Baba Yaga, who has been confirmed to appear, may factor into the film's proceedings. It reads, "Taking place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the film follows Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma."

At the moment, we're not entirely sure whether or not we'll see Ana de Armas and Keanu Reeves team-up or square off, but either way,...

Could Halle Berry take center stage in a John Wick spinoff? Berry played Sofia Al-Azwar in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. Sofia is the manager of the Casablanca Continental who assists Wick when he’s labeled excommunicado. Although Sofia said that doing so could put her daughter in danger, we never find out what happened. While speaking with THR, Berry said she thought John Wick: Chapter 4 would pick up that thread, but it didn’t. The actress added that there have been talks of a Sofia spinoff, but if it’s going to happen, it should be sooner rather than later.

“Yeah, I wish that would’ve happened, but that’s not the route they went. I thought that would’ve been a cool storyline. We talked about it, that’s for sure. We seeded it in John Wick: Chapter 3, and we’ve talked about a spinoff with Lionsgate that could potentially happen,...

[This story does not contain major spoilers for Never Let Go.]

When Oscar winner Halle Berry received the script for Never Let Go, she immediately likened it to the time she read the then-unproduced screenplay for A Quiet Place. The latter involves a farm-based family that lives in total silence following the invasion of bloodthirsty alien monsters with hypersensitive hearing, and Berry and director Alexandre Aja’s survival horror-thriller is about a single mother and her two fraternal twin sons who can’t leave their rural Tennessee cabin without being tethered by a limited amount of evil-obstructing rope. Berry was so taken by this high concept that she insisted on producing the pic alongside her production partner (and former agent) Holly Jeter at HalleHolly.

The aforementioned rope, which is regarded as a “lifeline,” is meant to protect Berry’s “Momma” and her 10-year-old sons, Nolan (Percy Daggs IV) and Samuel (Anthony B. Jenkins), from the touch of an...

There are three generally accepted rules for living a long and happy life. 1) You don’t spit into the wind. That’s really just common sense. 2) You don’t tug on Superman’s cape. 3) By God, if you really want to live a long life, you 100%, not under any circumstances, for any reason, F*ck with John Wick’s dog. We have all learned nothing good happens from making John Wick angry. While we’ve already had one spin-off of the successful franchise, the upcoming film Ballerina promises to take us even further into the crazy underworld of one of the most fascinating franchises to emerge in a long time.

Where Did Ballerina Come From?

This film began life way back in 2017 as a stand-alone film. Shay Hatten wrote an action script with a female lead called Ballerina. The lead would be a ballerina assassin who goes on a revenge killing spree.

We’re halfway through September, and while “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” has been the big winner of the month so far, we have a new potential fall blockbuster this weekend. Read on for Gold Derby’s box office preview.

Paramount Pictures has done quite well with Hasbro’s flagship Transformers toy line, to the tune of $5.3 billion worldwide, mostly thanks to the five movies directed by Michael Bay. Now, they’re returning to the animated realm that kicked the whole thing off in the ’80s with “Transformers One,” a prequel movie that explores the origins of the Autobots and Decepticons with Oscar-winning filmmaker Josh Cooley (“Toy Story 4”).

For this one, the filmmakers have put together a really impressive voice cast, including Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Scarlett Johansson, Jon Hamm, Keegan-Michael Key and Laurence Fishburne. Hemsworth voices the earlier version of Optimus Prime, Henry voices Megatron, and Key voices the younger Bumblebee,...

Halle Berry is willing to make more horror films after 'Never Let Go'.The 58-year-old actress is returning to the genre after over two decades in the new picture – with her last horror project being 2003's 'Gothika' - and has now revealed she would be open to starring in more scary flicks in the future. When Bloody Disgusting asked Berry why she hadn’t looked for more projects in the genre before, she said: "I don't know, because those are films I really do love to watch! I’m a really big psychological thriller and horror film fan. So I don’t know! Maybe I’ll do more."The actress stars as a mother of twins who is convinced that a mysterious evil force has engulfed the globe and attempts to protect her two boys by locking them away from the world and getting them to remain physically...

Halle Berry is one of the biggest movie stars of all time. That is a fact. Sure, she’s played Catwoman in that abomination of a movie, but her career includes major credits such as Monster’s Ball (2001), the role of Storm in four installments of the X-Men film series (2000–2014), the henchwoman of a robber in the thriller Swordfish (2001), and Bond girl Jinx in Die Another Day (2002). She also has significant roles in Perfect Stranger (2007), Cloud Atlas (2012), and The Call (2013), as well as Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) and John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019).

Her role in Monster’s Ball earned her an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role, which is when she became the (so far) only African-American woman to win the Academy Award for Best Actress, and the first woman of color.

In a recent big interview for Marie Claire, the actress, among other things, discussed her career in...

Say what you will about big movies bypassing the theatrical experience, but this week's most-watched Netflix titles make one thing clear: star power still matters, even on streaming. Case in point: "The Union," a new Netflix Original movie starring Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg that's been climbing the viewership charts since its release last week, according to streaming chart data site FlixPatrol.

Action rom-com "The Union" is currently beating away the rest of the competition on Netflix's top 10 most-watched list, which as of publication time is mostly made up of family films like "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," "Migration," and "Trolls Band Together." Kids who demand a dozen rewatches of their animated favorites clearly have nothing on grown-ups who have been itching to see Berry back in action for the first time in a few years, though.

Berry's only appeared in two other films since 2019's "John Wick: Chapter 3,...

Halle Berry has praised Pierce Brosnan for "restoring [her] faith in men" when she worked with him on ‘Die Another Day’.The 58-year-old actress appeared alongside the Hollywood legend, 71, in the 2002 James Bond flick, and has now emphasised she will be forever grateful to her co-star for being a true "gentleman" both on and off set.Speaking with Wired as part of their 'Autocomplete Interview' series, Halle said: "He will always be my Bond, always."I’m a Pierce Brosnan fan. He restored my faith in men on that movie. There couldn’t be a human who is more of a gentleman than Pierce Brosnan."While she loved working with the actor, the ‘John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum’ star admitted playing a Bond girl "wasn’t on her wish list" initially, but stressed she felt "really honoured" to have become a part of the franchise as Jinx.She said: "Bond...

Netflix is back with a new star-studded action movie — this time led by Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry — with “The Union.” Wahlberg stars as Mike, a Jersey construction worker who finds his average life turned upside down when his high school sweetheart Roxanne (Berry) shows up and he gets tangled up in a continent-skipping international intelligence adventure.

But Berry and Wahlberg aren’t the only familiar faces in the Netflix romp. Here’s a handy guide to “The Union” cast and the characters they play.

Halle Berry in “The Union” (Laura Radford/Netflix)

Halle Berry as Roxanne Hall — Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry stars as The Union operative Roxanne Hall, an ass-kicking, world-traveling adventurer who never misses her shot. Berry is best known for her superhero roles, playing Storm in the “X-Men” films and Catwoman in “Catwoman,” as well as her Best Actress-winning performance in “Monster’s Ball.” Her well-known titles also include “John Wick 3,...

From playing a super-powered mutant to an Mma fighter, Halle Berry has had her fair share of on-the-job accidents over the years.

The Academy Award winner recently compared battle scars with her The Union co-star Mark Wahlberg as they discussed their dangerous experiences with stunt performances on their many action movies.

“I’ve been knocked out three times, got an arm broken, broke ribs twice — two ribs one time, three ribs another time — broke a tail bone, broke two toes and a finger. This finger,” said Berry in the Netflix clip with a laugh while holding up her middle finger.

One such injury happened on the set of 2003’s Gothika, when Berry broke a bone in her right forearm, delaying the shoot by several weeks. Three of her broken ribs came from John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum (2019) and the other two came from her 2020 Mma drama Bruised, which also marked her directorial debut.

Led by Disney’s “Inside Out 2” and “Deadpool & Wolverine,” with a big assist from Universal’s “Despicable Me 4,” this has been a terrific box-office summer. It gives real hope for the future when it was in short supply.

However, there’s a fly in the White Claw. The foreign takes are way, way down, to the point that it may force studios to reassess the budget parameters that can actually turn a profit.

We looked at the top 10 summer grosses in the U.S./Canada for 2019, 2023, and 2024 to date (skipping the Covid-impacted 2020-2022). The results show a sharp drop in share of foreign gross even as domestic recovers.

Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne can easily be Hollywood’s most compelling and charismatic figures. The duo has collaborated several times over the past 25 years and have nothing but good words to add about each other. In one such moment, Fishburne revealed a major life hack that has allowed Reeves to remain at the top of his game for decades.

Per usual with Murphy’s shows, details about the roles Berry and Close will play are being kept quiet for now. All’s Fair is described as a glossy and sexy procedural in which Kardashian — who worked with Murphy on the most recent season of American Horror Story — plays a top divorce attorney at an all-woman L.A. law firm.

Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz (Feud: Capote vs. The Swans) and Joe Baken (ABC’s upcoming, Murphy-produced Dr. Odyssey) created the series. They executive produce with stars Kardashian, Close and Berry; writers Jamie Pachino, Laura Greene and Richard Levine; and Kris Jenner,...

Keanu Reeves is one of the most beloved actors working in Hollywood right now. Contrary to the ‘Golden Retriever energy’ he has off-screen, he is a badass on screen, especially when he stars in the John Wick franchise. The actor reportedly trained extensively for the action-heavy role, including killing it at martial arts and tactical training.

Reeves’ tactical training video recently went viral, where he can be seen hitting targets with precision and proper technique. His intense commitment got the endorsement of his John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum co-star Halle Berry too, who agreed that Reeves was not just acting as Wick in the films. Berry too had intense training sessions for her role in the film.

Updated: Warner Bros’ Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga was greeted with a very warm reception during its Cannes Film Festival world premiere in an early showcase last week, and amid much love for franchise architect George Miller. It has followed up with strong critical and social scores. Nevertheless, in this currently wonky theatrical landscape, the prequel underperformed in its global opening this launch weekend, grossing $58.9M from 76 total markets through Sunday.

That includes $33.3M from overseas play and $25.6M from domestic; the latter for its Friday-Sunday. We are waiting on confirmation of the four-day North American number given the domestic holiday on Monday.

Yes, we expected higher when we did our preview earlier this week, and perhaps the industry as a whole was praying too much at the feet of this origin story. It’s undeniably got some amazing action.

Important to recall that while we think of 2015’s rock-and-roll...

This post contains spoilers for "John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum."

Slick, visceral kineticism and mind-blowingly impressive gun-fu are integral to every fight John Wick (Keanu Reeves) gets involved with. Throughout the four "John Wick" films, dynamism has been the name of the game in terms of one-upping fight scenes, where everything from cars, pencils, explosives, and even stairs have been incorporated to keep the adrenaline flowing. In "John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum," John is the definition of a marked man, hounded by every assassin across the globe after breaking the rules, and he stumbles into a weapons shop with cramped rooms. After a few assassins corner him inside, there is but one option left: improvise and adapt with the countless antique knives displayed on glass panels to overcome a monumentally messed-up situation.

Even though "Parabellum" boasts several memorial fight scenes, the knife fight is a clear standout, and /Film's Jeremy...
