Ballerina Previews Exceed Expectations, Aims for $30M Opening | JQJO

The John Wick spinoff, Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas, is projected to earn $3.5M-$4M from previews, exceeding Furiosa's preview numbers but falling short of John Wick films. The $80-90M Lionsgate production aims for a $30M opening weekend, comparable to other female-led action films like Furiosa and Alita: Battle Angel. Ballerina boasts a 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, exceeding even John Wick: Chapter 4. Despite a lower critical score than the John Wick franchise, its strong audience reception suggests a promising opening weekend.
