As reported by Deadline, Keanu Reeves' John Wick: Chapter Three - Parabellum is currently in the midst of its opening weekend, and with a predicted box office of $56.9 million, it has finally knocked Avengers: Endgame off the top spot.
The forecasted takings for the movie were between $30 million and $35 million, Variety reports.
