:blessed: Baba Blockbuster Yaga


To think the first movie was a low budget Independent Thriller. Remember, this is a "R-rated" Franchise not "PG13" that means it's much harder at the box office because teens can't get in without an ID or parents or friends getting them in. The John Wick franchise has increased with each movie and more and more fans are coming along for the action thrill ride. John Wick had a bigger domestic opening than both "Pikachu" and "Shazam". It's the 2nd Biggest opening of Keanu's career behind "Matrix Reloaded. So where do they go from here, I have a few ideas.


JOHN WICK CHAPTER 4: BATTLE OF THE HIGH TABLE


After watching the film, My theory for Chapter 4 is basically Winston is clearly playing both sides. The High Table also doesn't like how powerful Winston has become in New York. He has the longest running Hotel in the Assassin World. Yes Winston did turn on John but he clearly aimed for his Bullet Proof suit. Also when the Adjudicator said, "John body is gone", Winston acted non-nonchalant about it. My theory is he shot John to make the Adjudicator think he's gonna play ball with the High Table. I expect John, Bowery King, Sofia and Winston to all plot to take on the High Table in the ultimate Assassin Battle. Also Sofia is gonna be punished by the High Table for what she did to help John. She will have no choice but to leave her Hotel and join John in the battle. So it will be a High Table War for power. With John, Winston, Bowery King and Sofia wanting to take full control but will have to kill some serious TOP Assassins to do it including the guy in the Desert.

Also there is room for a Halle Prequel Spinoff:

JOHN WICK PROLOGUE: SOFIA


This would be a Prequel to the John Wick series and take place before the first film. This movie would start with Sofia being an elite assassin working with John. Then when her daughter is kidnapped for ransom. John helps to rescue her and hide her away from the Assassin World. Because of this Sofia gives John a blood marker. We fast forward a few years and now Sofia is promoted from the High Table to run a new Hotel in Marracco. She agrees. The Movie follows Sofia running the Hotel and dealing with Politics. It can be something where there's conspiracy in her Hotel with Assassins and she will have to come out of retirement to handle. It will also show how Sofia met and trainned her dogs. It could be something where someone in her Hotel is trying to get her out of power and she's gotta stop them before the High Table finds out. I think audience would like to see this.


I also heard they are thinking of doing this Ballerina Assassin spinoff, I think a Wick-verse can really happen after the world building from Parrabellum. Also the Title is a double meaning. Yes it's "Prepare for War" but Parabellum also means a gun or ammunition:

they can't use a kiosk :gucci:

I'm talking about the purchase booth which majority of walk up sales are from there. Not saying nobody gets through, shoot, I watched R-rated films as a teen but my point was R-rated films have a more limited audience than PG13 because of who can get in and that's just a fact. That's why there hasn't been R-rated Film that has ever grossed Billion Worldwide. The closest was "Matrix Reloaded" and "Deadpool" both at 750+. Matter of fact, "Reloaded" held the R-rated OW record until "Deadpool" broke it. Here are the Top 15 R-rated films all time Domestic: As you can see, "Passion" still holds the record from 15 years ago. No R-rated film that has come since has been able to outgross it. So JW3 getting these numbers with an Hard R are very good.

"You gave John Wick a ride to the store. The Punishment for that is....

Like she was really going and tracking down everyone that helped him :mjlol:

John shooting with the 12 gauge :noah:
Halle Berry losing her cool and letting them thangs go when her dog was shot :whew:
John chopping off his finger and STILL being excommunicated :snoop:

I thought it was a good movie but the fight scenes lasted a tad too long in my opinion.
