The world ofJohn Wicklooks set to continue with a fifth movie in the Keanu Reeves action franchise, but fans of this year’s delayed spinoff,Ballerina, will soon be able to get their hands onAna De Armas’ action-packed movie as it has now set its release date for a 4K UHD (+ BD and Digital) and Blu-ray (+ DVD and Digital) release.
Ballerinawas a movie that drastically underperformed in cinemas, taking just $132 million on the back of a hefty $90 million budget. The cost of the film was reportedly increased due toseveral rounds of reshootsand some delays with the production. However, it scored a reasonable 76% Tomatometer score and a crowd-pleasing 93% from audiences on the Rotten Tomatoes Popcornmeter.

Was ‘Ballerina’ a Successful ‘John Wick’ Movie?
Success is a strange thing to measure in any movie franchise. The originalJohn Wickmovies did not deliver the kind of box office that Reeves’ supposed last outing as the assassin enjoyed in 2023. That film ended its theatrical run at $447 million, almost four times the amount taken byBallerina, making it seem like de Armas’ movie was nothing short of disappointing.
What was perhaps hardest to work out is exactly why the film did not draw more audiences into cinemas. De Armas has seen her profile rise dramatically in the last several years, starring in movies such asNo Time to Die, Knives Out, andGhosted. Additionally,Ballerinawas not only stylistically the same as the rest of theJohn Wicksaga, but even featured an appearance by the man himself.
However, the financial result does not seem to have made much difference to the future of the franchise, asJohn Wick 5is still in development. The new movie, which has to somehow negate the fact that Wick was believed to be dead at the end ofJohn Wick: Chapter 4, has been getting plenty of positive talk from director Chad Stahelski and Reeves, but what it will look like, and when we see it, are two questions that fans will not be getting answered for a little while yet.
