On the first day of pre-release showings, “Ballerina,” an effort by Lionsgate to broaden the “John Wick” series, generated a box office revenue of $3.75 million.
In a new spinoff, Ana de Armas portrays a former dancer turned assassin, who is driven by her desire to avenge her father’s death. Titled “Ballerina,” this film is projected to earn around $28 million to $30 million in its first weekend from 3,400 North American theaters. Internationally, where it opens in 82 markets, it could bring in an additional $30 million. The full title of the movie, which was extensively focus-tested and refined, is a rather lengthy one: “From the World of John Wick: Ballerina.
Keanu Reeves has featured in four “John Wick” movies and is also seen in the movie titled “Ballerina”. However, the main focus of the film lies on Ana de Armas, who was nominated for an Oscar for her role in “Blonde” and is also known for popular movies like “Knives Out” and “No Time to Die”. The movie, which seems to have a large number of stunt performers and fight choreographers, had a production budget of approximately $90 million.

With its domestic earnings already exceeding $300 million, it’s showing no signs of slowing down.
Lionsgate anticipates that the movie “Ballerina” will pave the way for more films in their emerging cinematic universe. Currently, they are developing “John Wick 5” and a spin-off focusing on Donnie Yen‘s character Caine, the blind assassin, as well as an animated prequel titled “Ballerina.”
