The idea was scrapped once the ending of Chapter 4 was decided upon. Stahelski has stated he and Reeves were almost certain Chapter 4 was the end for the dog-loving hitman’s big screen battles, but the filmmaker had considered making the fourth and fifth films back-to-back. Wick 4 served up a massive $73.8 million domestically, while overseas it debuted to a “resounding $67.6 million from 71 markets for a global start of $141.4 million”, according to THR – which called the takings “a series record on all fronts”.
