Let’s all thank Eva Longoria, the real-life hero behind not just the four John Wick movies, but his entire universe. Without her, we would never have had The Continental or Ballerina or the Ballerina trailer’s “Tiny Dancer” needle drop, which was one of the funniest in any teaser this year. Eva Longoria, we salute you.

The story, as told by the movie’s directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, was that as they were wrapping production they found out there was a $6 million shortfall in the bud

John Wick, released in 2014, was made on a budget of $20-30m and earned $86m at the box office. The film went on to spawn an entire franchise, with three sequels, all massively profitable. The most recent film, John Wick: Chapter 4, made $440m on a $100m budget.
