Avengers: Endgame may have been the culmination of the MCU and, for many betting people, a safe money spinner as this year's biggest and unbeatable box office hit, but now a new movie is on every cinema buff's minds. As reported by <a href="https://deadline.com/2019/05/john-wick-chapter-3-avengers-endgame-pokemon-detective-pikachu-weekend-box-office-1202617131/">Deadline</a>, 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. <img class="size-large wp-image-12518458" src="https://img.vt.co/2019/05/Screen-Shot-2019-05-18-at-16.00.20-1024x746.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="746" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Deadline / Screenshot]] The forecasted takings for the movie were between $30 million and $35 million, <a href="https://variety.com/2019/film/news/john-wick-chapter-3-box-office-avengers-endgame-1203218893/">Variety</a> reports. If you haven't seen it yet, this is the trailer for John Wick: Chapter Three:  [[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/9LFQtWvJ-YXhMkIor.mp4||9LFQtWvJ]] This is the largest amount a movie has made for Lionsgate since The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2, which made $102.6 million in November 2015. However, Endgame is still raking it in at the box office. <a href="https://deadline.com/2019/05/john-wick-chapter-3-avengers-endgame-pokemon-detective-pikachu-weekend-box-office-1202617131/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer">Deadline</a> reports that Avengers: Endgame on track to beat Avatar's lifetime domestic of $760.5 million, making it the second highest grossing movie ever at the domestic box office pulling in $769 million.

Reeves confesses he had a crush on Speed co-star Sandra Bullock: [[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/ga6IvyZY-Q0L14jDU.mp4||ga6IvyZY]] This is what the critics had to say about the movie on <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/john_wick_chapter_3_parabellum">Rotten Tomatoes</a>: "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum reloads for another hard-hitting round of the brilliantly choreographed, over-the-top action that fans of the franchise demand."
