$ 94 million in De Pijp: Will the cash register failing John Wick de “Ballerina”?

The spin-off of the John Wick Universe- de Militant of the Ballerina with Ana de Armas- received good reviews from critics (76% on Rotten Tomatoes, A-from Cinemascore), but failed at the Kassa.

The film started from $ 24.5 million to the first weekend on June 6, 2025, but in the second week he lost 62% of the audience and a month later he flew out of the top 10. It is not surprising, given the competition with the Blockbusters “Mission Impossible” and “How to Tam A Dragon”. In short: with a budget of $ 90 million, the image has only collected 131 million all over the world, which even looks unprofitable without taking into account marketing costs. If you include advertising costs, a “ballerina” is in fact a complete failure.

Key numbers:

• Budget: $ 90 million (excluding marketing, which could double the amount).
• Twers in the US: $ 58 million.
• Twaries in the world: $ 131 million.
• Lionsgate per quarter: $ 94 million pure loss.

“Ballerina” turned out to be the second most very film in the series (only “John Wick 4” was more expensive), but lost to all the followers at the checkout:

• John Wick 2 – $ 174 million;
• John Wick 3 – $ 328 million;
• John Wick 4 – $ 440 million.

The problem is that Lionsgate on the ‘Ballerina’ calculated as a confident start of the new storyline – and even announced a whole series of new projects in the Universe on Cinemacon 2025. Now, according to analysts, John Wick 5 looks like the most reliable option, but it is unlikely that it is a few years later. The development also contains an animated prequel and spin-off about Ken (hero of Donny Ien), who will remove it himself.
