The God of Death is coming! The three-consecutive North American box office championship of "Avengers 4" is expected to end

The North American box office results were announced on Friday (May 17). John Wick: Chapter 3, starring Keanu Reeves, opened at the top with an absolute advantage. Avengers 4's three-weekend box office championship streak is expected to be ended by John Wick: Chapter 3 this week.

Combined with the $5.9 million box office from Thursday's advance screenings, "John Wick: Chapter 3" took in a total of $22.67 million on its first day, which was the highest opening score for Lionsgate's films outside of the "Twilight" and "Hunger Games" series, and undoubtedly the strongest opening score for the "John Wick" series.

The Rotten Tomatoes rating of "John Wick: Chapter 3" currently remains at 89% fresh after taking into account 209 media reviews. The film's CinemaScore audience rating is "A-", which is comparable to "John Wick: Chapter 3" (the second film in the series).

Avengers 4 took in another $7.37 million on Friday, bringing its total box office to $749 million. On the global movie box office chart, Avengers 4 is currently ranked second, about $200 million away from the champion Avatar. However, on the North American local chart, the two are very close, and Avengers 4 (749 million) is expected to surpass Avatar (760 million) this week and take the second place.

In addition, the sequel of the film "A Dog's Purpose 2", which was once a hit in China, opened in North America and took in $2.52 million on Sunday, ranking fourth. The audience reputation of the film is "A", which is quite good. The film has been released simultaneously in China and the United States, and the first day in mainland China was 18.72 million yuan, ranking second in the single-day box office after "Detective Pikachu". As of 10:30 am on Sunday, the cumulative box office of the film in mainland China reached 53.48 million.
