John Wick Chapter 4 Advance Booking: Keanu Reeves' action thriller brings solid footfalls to India

While the movie made some solid gains over the weekend, John Wick: Chapter 4 will provide some relief for the box office this week. The movie isn't much of a franchise in India, and the weekend before the major movie Bholaa opens next week was looking very drab. When John Wick: Chapter 4 comes out, there will be a steady flow of people, which will be good for the exhibitors.

As per Box Office India, the movie will premiere on Thursday around 6 p.m. with paid previews, and that alone should do well since advances are already approaching Rs. 50 lakhs nett. The movie has very little franchise value because John Wick: Chapter 3 only made about Rs. 11 crore nett in 2019. Three films make up the series, which has a total budget of under Rs. 15 crore nett.

There is a catch for Hollywood movies because progress is often much faster than what is happening now. However, even if progress is slower than usual in this case, it will still do well at the box office, much better than what was expected for this series.

There are no new Hindi movies this week; just Bheed is releasing. But, given that both Mrs. Chaterjee vs. Norway and John Wick: Chapter 4 are aimed at the same demographic, neither movie stands a chance against the other.
