The scale of the next film in the series was something I discussed with Chad Stahelski yesterday at the Blu-ray/DVD press day for John Wick: Chapter 2, and he confirmed that things won’t radically change for the franchise going forward.
While a good proportion of studio blockbuster sequels these days can see budgets soar between $150 and $250 million, John Wick: Chapter 2 was made for just a reported $40 million.
And while it made $166 million at the global box office (versus the $88 million haul from the original), the success isn’t going to lead John Wick: Chapter 3 to be any bigger.
