There is no doubt that “From the World of John Wick: Ballerina” is a moneymaker. The hitch is that it should be making way more money to justify its $90 million cost. There’s been some massaging of numbers from interested parties, who point out that the opening weekend gross of $25 million surpassed the $14 million opening weekend of the original John Wick in 2014. Not so fast.
