This movie could've made over $80 million if LGF gave a fuck. They didn't even release the trailer until a month before it opened and then spend nothing on promo. On the positive side, the only reason a $43 million DOM grossing movie is getting a sequel is that the negative costs were so low.

I would agree but LGF only got the rights to the film in mid-August.

However LGF do have a history of spending very little on their movies to begin with...especially the promo. MJ1 is prime example of how late start and low key marketing affected OW.

LIONSGATE RELOADS “JOHN WICK 2”

Keanu Reeves, Directors David Leitch and Chad Stahelski Return

Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF) has confirmed plans to produce a sequel to 2014’s critically-acclaimed breakout hit “JOHN WICK,” it was announced today by Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger, Co-Chairmen of the Theatrical Motion Pictures Group. Keanu Reeves along with directors David Leitch and Chad Stahelski as well as screenwriter, Derek Kolstad are set to return for the sequel. The film will be released through Lionsgate’s Summit Entertainment and will be produced by Thunder Road’s Basil Iwanyk, who produced the first film.

In the follow up to last year’s adrenaline-fueled revenge and redemption thriller, legendary hit man John Wick is back.

“With such tremendous fan and critical support for ‘John Wick,’ we knew that there was still so much more of this story to tell,” said Jason Constantine, President of Acquisitions and Co-Productions. “We are thrilled that Keanu, David and Chad have re-teamed with us and promise to bring audiences even more excitement the second time around.”

Jason Constantine and Eda Kowan at Lionsgate will oversee the project on behalf of the studio.

Lionsgate International will be selling the picture internationally at the upcoming Cannes Film Market.

You joke about a stage show but I genuinely once watched a 2 hour play about how sad Keanu Reeves is. 

 

It was quite good. Packed out theatre and everyone seemed to like it very much.
