While "When Thanos t Jonathan" was heating up, Zack Snyder approached DC's co-chair, Hamada.
This petite, dark-thed director, after reading the comics, had an idea and said to Hamada, "Marvel's riding on the 'John Wick' craze with good effect. 'Batman v Superman' is set to release next spring, should we also capitalize on this?"
As a mber of the Warner Bros. Team, Hamada didn't take it too seriously.
Zack Snyder continued, "We could take advantage of this, Martin has always been collaborating with Warner and is in charge of a DC movie project, we could coordinate with Martin to release sothing like 'Wild Wolf' or 'Darkseid ets Jonathan' while it's hot."
Hamada's thoughts were completely different, and with a wave of his hand, he said, "There's no need; Batman and Superman's drawing power is strong enough. We don't need these underhanded tactics, and Martin... he isn't easy to deal with."
Zack Snyder then said, "The movie's popularity..."
Hamada raised his hand to interrupt him, "Let's leave it at that, Zack. Focus your energy on film production, leave the marketing and distribution to DC and Warner."
Zack Snyder, who wasn't Nolan and didn't have much clout with DC, had no choice but to shut up and leave.
Although Warner and DC disdained such lowbrow promotion tactics, "When Thanos t Jonathan" fueled the popularity further, expanding the impact of "John Wick: Chapter 3" and Marvel superhero movies.
The latter, "Captain Arica 2," which had been released nearly a month earlier, showed a trend of box office rebound.
"John Wick: Chapter 3" attracted even more casual viewers.
The movie, starting Friday morning, maintained a frighteningly high attendance rate, with most of the screening halls exceeding two-thirds full.
By evening in hot spots in major cities across North Arica, "John Wick: Chapter 3" was sold out, with many theaters packed full.
This situation lasted the entire night until the cinemas closed.
Accordingly, after the box office data was released on Friday, "John Wick: Chapter 3" created the best single-day revenue of the year—$56.64 million!
After two consecutive movies, this series finally exploded with the third instalnt in the trilogy!

"While Thanos t Jonathan" continued to fernt online, netizens spontaneously extended many new s.

Compared to these, movie fans' various enthusiastic online reviews of the movie itself exploded.
"John Wick: Chapter 3" maintained an excellent reputation, even as nearly ten million viewers watched, and its IMDb rating did not plumt significantly, currently holding at 8.9.
Fans online wished they could hype this movie to the skies.
"If there's such a thing as addictive action movies in this world, then the 'John Wick' series led by Martin Davis would definitely be on the list! It's like a shot of high-concentration vodka, glare at it, slam it down, and feel the burning sensation hit your skull."
"In the first two films, Martin's action scenes, which were almost truly perford, I thought had already reached a summit in Hollywood like never before, but the third one proves again that Martin's limits are beyond imagination, bringing another super action classic!"
"Although I'm a girl, I am a girl who likes Martin. Watching the scenes with throwing knives, pencils, stables, and riding, I got completely soaked, wishing I were that black horse!"

At this mont, Davis Studio and Disney Studios no longer needed to continue to push hard on mouth-based marketing; just the right guidance was enough to let the film's high acclaim spread wildly.

The Winston-like ne, second only to Martin in screen ti in the trilogy, was also a highly popular character.
Now that it was set to beco its own film, there was much anticipation.
In the early hours of Sunday, fresh box office statistics were sent to Martin's email.
In the bedroom at Davis Estate, Martin patted Lily's butt, telling her to hold Elizabeth while he sat up against the headboard, picked up his phone, and opened the email.
Lily took a bite at Elizabeth's soft and lofty spot.
Initially exhausted and drowsy, Elizabeth was awoken by Lily's bite, hurriedly covering Lily's mischievous mouth, then turning over and stretching out her arms to embrace Martin.
Seeing Martin looking at his phone, she asked, "No decline today?"
Martin replied, "No, the attendance is higher than on Friday. We brought in 55.1 million US dollars."
Lily crawled over, lying in Elizabeth's arms, and said, "But it's less than on Friday."
"You're such a scatterbrain!" Elizabeth reminded her, "Friday's box office included the midnight showing that started on Thursday night."
Martin scooped Lily onto Elizabeth, got up to stand behind, and said, "It's ti to celebrate properly."
Lily, with trembling legs, glanced at Elizabeth's face close by, and whispered in her ear, "This isn't sustainable, should we find another sister to join us?"
Elizabeth imdiately thought of that woman far away in Atlanta, insisting, "Let's keep it this way for now."
Lily, thinking of Love's iron fist, shuddered all over. It was better not to have her co.
She felt that if they were to find soone, it really shouldn't be Elena; she'd beat her to half-death every day.
