John Wick Chapter 4 Netted $245M in 10 Days

With an incredible $245 million at the worldwide box office in only ten days – “John Wick Chapter 4” was released on March 24 – the film has already surpassed the first installment’s humble $86 million collection, and John Wick: Chapter 2‘s $171 million worldwide collection. 
 
And it is now expected to overtake the third movie’s franchise-best haul, "John Wick – Parabellum" very soon! FYI, it netted $328.3 globally. 
 
I read on FandomWire that both Chad Stahelski and Keanu Reeves had reiterated the importance of their “time off” between films, and how it helps them grow and discuss new ideas. They insist that it is a non-negotiable to their ideation process. 
 
After all, the ending of the fourth film had a sense of finality to it, and showed the character arc coming full circle. If – and it is a big ‘if’ – Stahelski does go ahead with Chapter 5, it would bring a new series of challenges in terms of continuity – which in my opinion, is an exciting prospect. 
 
In yesterday’s Premier League match, Liverpool put in a second comedic performance of the past few days at Chelsea, yet somehow – by fortune, Alisson Becker and VAR – managed to keep a clean sheet and earn a point. The Reds could only manage a scoreless draw. 
 
No points from Manchester City is already a disappointment – but it becomes very distressing to know that the gap between Liverpool and them is a wide and deep chasm. And then, one point from here is an opportunity wasted, given how bad Chelsea have also been – and the fact they have no manager. 
 
Surely, Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool must know they have to beat Arsenal convincingly this Sunday – or there can be no facade left pretending an absolute overhaul of the team isn’t required. And, methinks, the manager should now be honest about his own performance!
