Good to see you buddy. I thought you might have #DiedSuddenly.

I still have yet to see this...
My buddy and I watched the first three movies in the last month or so. We were going to watch it the other night but opted for something else because he had work in the morning and it's got a 2 hour and 50 minute runtime.
That being said, I absolutely LOVED the first movie, and the 2nd movie was almost as good despite the cliffhanger ending (thankfully they did make the 3rd movie and didn't screw the fans).
I didn't really like the 3rd movie much though. It wasn't bad... It just didn't seem very "John Wick" to me. It also didn't benefit from the ever-lengthening runtime either. My buddy was actually falling asleep during the action in the 3rd act, and although I had no problem staying awake, that was around the point that my mind started wandering too. John Wick 3 could have benefited from leaving about 20 to 25 minutes on the cutting room floor.
I loved the first half or so of the movie though. Halle Berry's character and her awesome dogs were a welcome addition to the franchise, and I knew that bastard was going to shoot one of them, what she was going to do in retaliation (and I even called word for word what she said to John afterward). Once she leaves the film is when it starts taking a downward turn, IMO. Not because of her absence, but just because of the shift in tone of the flick and the entire series in general. It does make a pretty strong comeback in the last few minutes, but boy that last half of the 3rd movie was a chore to slog through. John's rise up that building to get to the Big Bad was like watching somebody play a video game and just got boring.
Hopefully John Wick 4 makes a strong comeback for the series. I don't think there's any chance it could match the level of the first movie, but I'd settle for at least as good as the 2nd movie.

Each John Wick makes more money than the last, so there will be a John Wick 5.

John Wick Chapter 4 production budget: $100,000,000
The Little Mermaid production budget: $250,000,000
Days in theater before John Wick made the production budget back just in Domestic Box Office: 8
Days in theater before The Little Mermaid made the production budget back in just the Domestic Box Office: Likely 24 (It still hasn't)
John Wick Chapter 4's current Worldwide Box Office vs Production Budget percentage: 432.4%
The Little Mermaid's current Worldwide Box Office vs Production Budget percentage: 172.4%
Bare minimum percentage of production budget a film needs to gross to break even: 200%
After 10 days, John Wick already made 245% of its production budget. https://collider.com/john-wick-4-global-box-office-245-million/
After 22 days, The Little Mermaid isn't even close to 200% and many question if it will even make that much before it's out of theaters.
This is why Democrats can't math. They hate facts and only know how to skew them.
John Wick Chapter 4 beats The Little Mermaid in every possible metric that matters except for the most superficial one that you continue to parrot out here because you read it on another dumb fuck Leftist media site that is simping for big corporations like Disney.

That's what we in the business call a Formal Fallacy.
In any event, The Little Mermaid will still be another in a long string of box office failures for Disney, but it will hardly be the last one.

22 Magic Mike's Last Dance / Budget: $45,000,000 / WWO: $8,000,000 / 18%
SPECIAL MENTION:
Mummies / Budget: $12,000,000 / WWO: Unknown / ?
A movie that I've never even heard of until just right now called Mummies is currently 31st on the global list at $53,193,065 and needs a mention because only 8.04% (less than $5 Million) of that came from the domestic market, while the other 91.96% came from international box office. It has now made 442% of its production budget back, making it a clear winner based off of its low budget and its extremely high international take vs domestic take, two things which The Little Mermaid has never had in its favor.

John Wick 4 absolutely sucked. 2/10.
I would watch the original again right now. The 2nd one was also enjoyable, but because of how it ended and lead into the 3rd one, which needed the 4th one to complete the 3 movie arc, I wouldn't ever bother watching the 2nd movie again.
Somewhere along the line, John Wick lost his way. I think it was about 1 hour into the 3rd movie.
John Wick 4 was boring action with almost zero story, and by the 2nd half you're just watching a live-action Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoon, with Wick getting smashed by cars repeatedly, jumping from 4 story windows and crushing the cars below, falling down 8 flights of stairs twice, and just all around getting the shit kicked out of him left and right but just getting right back up with hardly a limp like he's Michael Meyers or something.
2 hours and 50 minutes I'll never get back. Plus the sequel and 3rd movie time sink.
What an unbelievable disappointment. Utter trash.
Would not recommend to anyone.
