Financial Successes… and Setbacks to Own
The Very Big Earnings
- The Matrix (saga): cumulative earnings > 200 M$ (several sources suggest ~250 M$ for the original trilogy), through salaries + performance bonuses.
- John Wick: remuneration rising sharply with each installment; ~15 M$ reported for Ch. 4 and ~22 M$ cumulative according to some estimates.
The Underperformances
A career also dotted with “air pockets”: Johnny Mnemonic, Chain Reaction, 47 Ronin or Replicas received mixed critical/box-office receptions. This volatility reinforced Reeves’s strategy: variety of roles, participations rather than fixed fees, and diversification outside of cinema.
