Forget ‘John Wick,’ This 64-Year-Old Action Franchise Is Still a Streaming Juggernaut

When it comes to the great action franchises of all time, fans could quibble all day about which is the best. However, one that undoubtedly stands above most others is John Wick, which first launched back in 2014 as a simpler revenge mission for a man who killed another man’s dog. The film was a hit at the box office, grossing over $85 million against a $20 million budget, and it spawned three sequels and a spin-off, with more on the way. John Wick may have started as a grounded original action movie, but by the time John Wick: Chapter 4 arrived in theaters a few years ago, the franchise had gone to new heights, with countless stars surrounding Keanu Reeves and a budget eclipsing nine figures.
