Deadline told you recently that the fourthquel is headed to a franchise-best debut at the domestic box office with a projected $60 million-$70 million opening weekend when it bows March 24. The pic sees the return of the franchise’s filmmaker Chad Stahelski, and it wouldn’t be shocking if he and Reeves showed up at this SXSW event — in fact, it would be strange if they didn’t. Both made a surprise appearance at San Diego Comic-Con in July, when they dropped the first trailer.
