“John Wick 3” is the Best Home Release for Lionsgate in 5 Years

Keanu Reeves in "John Wick: Chapter 3 ā€” Parabellum"

John Wick: Chapter 3 ā€“ Parabellum is keeping on going strong and has now sold over 3 million times in VOD, electronic sales, and packaged media. Its post-theatrical sales have begun late last month and by now it is the highest-grossing home entertainment release for Lionsgate in 5 years ā€“ since 2014’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1.

These kind of sales are impressive considering the fact that the movie has made 170 million dollars domestically, while Lionsgate estimates that the movie’s home release sales are on par with what a movie that made 250 million dollars domestically would do.

Lionsgate President of Worldwide Home Entertainment Ron Schwartz was naturally thrilled by the movie’s success. ā€œThe popularity of the John Wick franchise continues to surge with strong growth across packaged media, electronic sell-through, and video-on-demand platforms,ā€ he said. ā€œThe success ofĀ John Wick:Ā Chapter 3Ā is a testament to the filmā€™s incredible cast, led by Keanu Reeves, and amazing creative team, the efforts of our sales and marketing executives, and the vibrancy of the home entertainment business across all of its platforms.ā€

Lionsgate is obviously counting on the franchise’s continuing success. John Wick 4 will be released in theaters on May 21, 2021.
