Before we go further, some clarification on where this film fits into the timeline. Let’s forget (for now) that there was a John Wick 4, because the events of “Ballerina” take place during the third movie. So, erase from your mind whatever huge, life-altering thing may or may not have happened in the last film. OK?

"Ballerina," a spinoff in the "John Wick" universe, opened behind expectations and below "Lilo & Stitch" on box office charts.
