John Wick: Why The Continental Is the Perfect Franchise Location

Currently, John Wick Chapter 4 is outperforming some other major franchise films at the box office.

It's a significant development that the primary series' last movie makes such a dramatic change.

[{"selector":"#anim-3b5f09de-b01a-4564-91e5-d1474374a791","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-398bb59e-3609-4fc1-b0b8-4c40ad5af26e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 179.32370%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Chad Stahelski, the director, must be asking himself right now, "How can I make all the money off this series?"

[{"selector":"#anim-fc22bf87-d4be-4b3a-b6b4-159a43790c37","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e32c4450-2a87-4060-a537-180eb6dd7752","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 171.49762%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

An obvious, though lazy, choice may have been a prequel to John Wick.

[{"selector":"#anim-4bb71000-52c9-43c3-8864-8ade4a7fc237","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dc7857e1-d20e-48ad-b332-9ec6700f361d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 215.19797%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It's possible that John Wick 5 will still happen, but we're not sure yet.

[{"selector":"#anim-21c164b7-adf8-4d3e-9e0d-90cdcb45b596","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3b8ce743-e0cf-48a5-9702-4469501e37b7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 202.55426%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, what's actually going on is much more exciting than all of that.

[{"selector":"#anim-26dfac6c-184c-487d-819f-4716bfcfce74","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c9912556-f4b0-4cd8-af42-2fb61bbbcedc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 219.79568%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The setting for this program is the same universe as the main franchise,

[{"selector":"#anim-cac4f0f7-09a0-45fa-84d9-bcf8ff4a32ab","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-30327afb-de69-47db-9775-23205c39aedc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 204.85315%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

but it takes place during an entirely other time period.

[{"selector":"#anim-9703f350-e52f-4174-94ec-3c4d7700d973","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bf03a1f5-d060-4a12-9802-2008b33538e0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 263.97312%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
