What start for ballerina at the US box office, against Lilo & Stitch, Mission: Impossible and Karate Kid?

Can John Wick franchise exist without Keanu Reeves? We have a start of response …

Ballerina Enter dance au box-office US.

The spin-off from the ultra-resentable universe of John Wick, worn by Ana de Armas et Keanu Reevesand produced with a solid budget ($ 90 million), landed without having the ambition to break the barrack, but hoped to reach $ 30 million recipes. The film of Len Wiseman starts below, with 25 million dollars harvested over three days.

Ballerina Lightly fail under the projections and far from the recent films in the saga: John Wick 3 had opened at $ 56.8 million and John Wick 4the highest point of the saga, had a hit with $ 73.8 million when it was launched in 2023.

And Ballerina better than the very first installment ($ 14 million in 2014), this shy launch clearly questions the capacity of the Wick universe to exist without Keanu Reeves.

For his defense, it must be recognized that competition is tough right now in theaters.

Lilo & Stitch Continues its incredible course at the top of the US box office. With Additional 35 million This weekend (a moderate drop of -43 %), the film already accumulates $ 338.5 million across the Atlantic and becomes the second largest boxes of 2025 at the US box office, behind Minecraft.

At the same time, Mission : Impossible – Final Reckoning Also continue to turn well. Tom Cruise loses 47 % of his recipes compared to the previous weekend and points to 15 millions in the third week. The film accumulates 150 M$ in three weekends and should easily do better than Dead Reckoningwhich had ended his career at $ 170 million in revenue on the North American continent.

It is more complicated on the other hand for Karate Kid: Legends. The martial arts film conforms its average launch with a short second week in 9,1 M$ (-55 %). The rest of the saga and Cobra Kai accumulating $ 36 million For the moment at the US box office. It is little, given the popularity of the franchise. Fortunately, the production budget did not exceed 50 million.

Same budget but much bigger success for Destination finale: Bloodlines, solid fifth of the US box office with $ 6.5 million morereaching 123,5 M$ In cumulative – an excellent score for a horror film in the fourth week.

Finally, it should be noted the surprise at the bottom of the ranking: The Phoenician Scheme Explod the counters: +750 % attendance in the second week!

Wes Anderson’s latest film took 4,2 M$ Over the weekend and now reaches $ 5 million in revenue in the USA. It must be said that when it was released on May 30, the feature film was screened in only 6 rooms in the United States. It is now projected in 1,678 American cinemaswhich explains this spectacular increase. In reality, The Phoenician Scheme still has a job to hope to do as well as the 28 million harvested by Asteroid City across the Atlantic in 2023.
