[Box Office] Nobody Can Stop ‘John Wick’, Who Shoots Up a $92M Global Opening

Published

on

John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (read our review) is the first film to defeat the Avengers, taking the top spot at the box office with an estimated $57M. Starring Keanu Reeves at the title character, the hitman action film also added $35M overseas for a global opening of $92.2M. The third film in the soon-to-be saga had a reported budget of $55M, which means it should enter into the profit zone by the end of next weekend.

The first John Wick shocked everyone with its $88M pull, while the sequel mustered up a whopping $171M. Chapter 3 will surpass $200M.

Sony Screen Gems’ thriller The Intruder (review) quietly had a strong opening with an estimated $11M domestic take and managed another $4M this weekend. With a budget reportedly in the $8M range, the film needs to see $30m globally to break even. It’s currently sitting at $28.6M.

In the film directed by Deon Taylor’s (Chain Letter), when a young married couple (Michael Ealy and Meagan Good) buys their dream house in the Napa Valley, they think they have found the perfect home to take their next steps as a family. But when the strangely attached seller (Dennis Quaid) continues to infiltrate their lives, they begin to suspect that he has hidden motivations beyond a quick sale.

New Line Cinema and Atomic Monster’s The Curse of La Llorona (read our review), which is part of the Conjuring Universe (even if not marketed as such), is now sitting at $115M globally. With a reported $9M budget, there will be a sequel to the Michel Chaves-directed horror film that introduced us to The Weeping Woman.

Paramount Pictures’ Pet Sematary (read our review), their modern take of Stephen King‘s novel, has now surpassed $109M on a reported $21M budget. It’s not quite the runaway freight train of La Llorona, but it is profitable enough to warrant another trip to sour ground.

David Dastmalchian (Dune, The Suicide Squad) stars as Jack Delroy, the charismatic host of “Night Owls,” and the film traces the ill-fated taping of a live Halloween special in 1977 plagued by a demonic presence. The energetic and innovative feature hails from Australian writing-directing team Colin and Cameron Cairnes (100 Bloody Acres, Scare Campaign). 

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “Late Night with the Devil captures the chaotic energy of a late night show, embracing the irreverent comedy and stress of live television with a pastiche style. It’s a clever trojan horse for a surprising horror movie that goes full throttle on unhinged demonic mayhem.”

Late Night with the Devil was also praised by both Stephen King and Kevin Smith, with King tweeting: “Late Night with the Devil. It’s absolutely brilliant. I couldn’t take my eyes off it. Your results may vary, as they say, but I urge you to watch it when you can.”
