SEOUL, Apr. 17 (Yonhap) -- American neo-noir action thriller film “John Wick: Chapter 4,” starring the legendary Hollywood star Keanu Reeves, effortlessly topped the local weekend box office.

Per Korea Film Council, this action-packed flick greeted its opening weekend crowd and raked in 498,000 admissions (48.1% of sales share) over three days from April 14.

“John Wick 4” has gathered more than 726,000 moviegoers so far and has been staying atop the chart for four days since its release last Wednesday (April 12).

Meanwhile, Makoto Shinkai’s animated blockbuster “Suzume” (22.8%), which gave its way to Keanu Reeves’ brand-new film, slid down to second place.

The film had 214,000 moviegoers added to this big number over the weekend, scoring a total of 4.69 million admissions.
