Ballerina’s Impressive Preview Earnings
Exclusive insights reveal that the hotly anticipated John Wick spinoff, *Ballerina*, is projected to rake in between $3.5M and $4M during its preview period. This figure includes fans' early excitement during Wednesday’s screenings, which kicked off at 7 PM, and Thursday’s showings starting at 6 PM.
Aiming for Box Office Success
With a budget in the $80M-$90M range, there's high hope that *Ballerina* will cross the $30M mark in its opening weekend. Recent female-led action films like *Furiosa* and *Alita: Battle Angel* set the bar at $26.3M and $28.5M, demonstrating solid potential.
Competition Heats Up
As the weekend unfolds, *Ballerina* is likely to land in second place behind Disney’s *Lilo & Stitch*, which is projected to make about $35M in its third weekend, while also reaching the remarkable milestone of over $300M.
Everything You Need to Know About *Ballerina***
Delayed by a year for additional shoots, *Ballerina*, directed by Len Wiseman and produced by Thunder Road, features star performances with Ana de Armas and a cameo from Keanu Reeves. Fans have responded positively, with a remarkable 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, even higher than the ratings for any *John Wick* installment. However, it stands at 72% in critical reception, slightly behind the lofty scores of its franchise predecessors.
Forecasting the Future
Interestingly, *Ballerina*’s preview earnings are on par with those of *Furiosa*, which took in $3.5M during its Thursday previews, but they surpass the $2.4M of *Alita: Battle Angel*. While it's noteworthy that *Ballerina* outstripped *John Wick 2*’s $2.2M, it still lags behind the franchise's top earners—in particular, *John Wick: Chapter 3* and *Chapter 4*, which earned $5.9M and $8.9M respectively.
