Parabellum sets new box-office record in the John Wick Series

Barely 2 weeks after the release of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the film has become the highest grossing film in the action series, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Parabellum has grossed $181 million at the global box office to date, surpassing John Wick: Chapter 2‘s $171.5 million. The original John Wick ended its 2014 run with $88.7 million worldwide.

In its second weekend of release, Parabellum earned $24.35 million at the domestic box office, with a domestic cume of $107.1 million. The movie is looking to add $6 million over Memorial Day, with estimated 4-day holiday weekend projection of $30.5 million.

Keanu Reeves returns in Parabellum as the formerly retired hitman who finds himself stripped of the protection from a shadowy international assassins guild.

Now stuck with a $14 million bounty on his head, Wick must fight his way through the streets of New York as he becomes the target of the world’s most ruthless killers. Franchise newcomers Halle Berry and Anjelica Huston join in on the fight and has the stuntman-turned-director Chad Stahelski.
