By comparison, the John Wick films are so tightly woven together, the second film follows almost immediately after the first and we know the same will be true of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum. John Wick, played by Keanu Reeves, quickly rose to culture icon status when audiences first laid eyes on the black-suited, pistol-packing assassin in 2014's "John Wick," directed by Chad Stahelski John Wick: Chapter 2 currently has the character’s most kills with a staggering 128! That is just shy of double the number of kills from the first movie. I will be curious to see if John Wick: Chapter 4 will be able to outdo the kill count in Chapter 2. The franchise’s first movie, John Wick, was released in 2014, followed by John Wick: Chapter 2 in 2017, John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum in 2019 and most recently, John Wick: Chapter 4 in 2023. The last movie, John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum, posted $5.9M in Thursday previews, which turned into a $22.6M opening day, and a franchise-record domestic opening of $56.8M back in May 2019 SqRQs.
