Ballerina Box Office Predicted To Open Bigger Than John Wick

As Ana De Armas’ Ballerina nears its June 6 release date, predictions for the film suggest that the John Wick spin-off will enjoy a healthy opening weekend at the box office. According to the initial assessments, Ballerina could end up surpassing the domestic opening numbers of 2017’s John Wick: Chapter 2.

Ballerina’s box office has already made $3.5 million in previews

As per reports shared by Deadline, Ballerina, which boasts a reported production budget of $80-90 million, should conclude its first three-day run at the box office with a collection in excess of $30 million domestically. If the spin-off film manages to match the predicted number, it will beat the opening weekend numbers of the first two John Wick movies.

John Wick and John Wick: Chapter 2 raked in $14.4 million and $30.4 million, respectively, in their debut weekends in theaters. However, predictions for Ballerina’s opening weekend indicate that the film will fall short of the sum garnered by John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum ($56.8 million) and John Wick: Chapter 4 ($73.8 million) at the domestic box office during their opening weekends.

Deadline’s reports suggest that Ballerina will rake in an additional $3.5-$4 million through its previews, though. This includes the early screenings for the spin-off movie that took place on Wednesday, starting from 7 PM, as well as those on Thursday, which commenced at 6 PM.

Aside from its promising box office predictions, Ballerina has already garnered positive reviews from critics, with ComingSoon.net’s Jonathan Sim describing it as “yet another fantastic installment in this series,” calling it “action perfection,” and adding that it provides “all the manic mayhem and carnage candy” that fans of the franchise expect. At the time of writing, Ballerina has a 73% approval rating from 136 reviews, with a much higher audience score of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.
