The entire internet maybe collectively crusshing on him but actor Keanu Reeves was blissfully unaware untill recently. The actor just learned that he has been named as the internet`s boyfriend but `John Wick` star missed the memo. 
 
Speaking to People magazine on the `Toy Story 4` premiere`s red carpet on Tuesday, the actor was asked about his thoughts on being dubbed the internet`s newest boyfriend, referencing the love for the star in the wake of his recently released `John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum` and his hilarious cameo in `Always Be My Maybe.` 
 
However, the actor was surprised to learn about his new title."I`ve been what?," he said when asked how he felt about the internet`s obsession with him."I didn`t know that... That`s, uh, that`s wacky. Well, the positivity`s great," the 54-year-old actor said. 
 
Reeves continued to speak about recent projects that fans have latched onto, like `John Wick 3` and the Netflix rom-com `Always Be My Maybe`, in which he plays a fictionalised version of himself. 
 
"It`s really special how 'John Wick' was embraced, and working on 'Always Be My Maybe', great, you know. Ali Wong and Randall Park are just really wonderful artists and people, and it was really cool to get a chance to play with them," he said speaking of his co-stars of the Netflix romantic-comedy. 
 
Reeves also spoke about his upcoming film `Toy Story 4`, in which he voices a daredevil, motorcycle-obsessed toy called Duke Caboom."I just kind of got inspired," Reeves said when asked if he really did jump onto a table at Pixar when learning about the character. 
 
"The character`s so full of life. He`s a showman, he`s a daredevil. So when he`s on the bike, I was just -- like, he keeps doing poses, you know, and he can`t stop. They put it into the film, so it was nice," he added.While Reeves said his on-screen, toy character "looks absolutely not like me, at all," he did say that some of his physicality made it into the avatar. 
 
Reeves, who has had a big fan-following in Hollywood since the 1990s, is enjoying a resurgence in popularity, largely online. His tendency for introspection, buying his own groceries and riding motorcycles has made fans on the internet fall in love with the star.`Toy Story 4` hits the big screens on June 21 this year.&nbsp;

Taika Waititi's 'Akira' movie gets May 2021 release date

Earth's Mightiest Heroes put up a good fight, but John Wick put an end to the three-week box office reign of 'Avengers: Endgame.'

Propelled by positive reviews, 'John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum'&nbsp;beat expectations with a debut of $57 million from 3,850 North American locations.

That was enough to nab the box office crown from 'Avengers: Endgame,'&nbsp;Marvel's latest juggernaut that collected $29.4 million during its fourth weekend of release.

'Parabellum,' the third installment of the action franchise, opened well above its predecessors 2014's 'John Wick'&nbsp;($14.4 million) and 2017's 'John Wick: Chapter 2'&nbsp;($30.4 million).

'John Wick 3'&nbsp;also hit a franchise record overseas, bowing with $35 million from 66 international markets for a global start of $92 million.

In 'Parabellum,'&nbsp;Keanu Reeves returns as the titular ex-hitman who finds himself on the run from assassins. Stuntman-turned-director Chad Stahelski helmed the movie, written by series-creator Derek Kolstad. Halle Berry and Laurence Fisburne also star.

Males accounted for 63% of opening weekend moviegoers, with 45% of that crowd over the age of 25.

'John Wick 3'&nbsp;was a much-needed win for Lionsgate.

Despite the modest successes of 'A Madea Family Funeral' and 'Five Feet&nbsp;Apart,' the studio suffered a string of disappointments with its big-budget reboot of 'Robin Hood'&nbsp;with Taron Egerton, a 'Hellboy'&nbsp;remake, and most recently, Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron's comedy 'Long Shot.'

'Avengers: Endgame,'&nbsp;which slid to second place on domestic box office charts, has now earned $771 million in North America.

It officially passed 'Avatar'&nbsp;and its $761 million haul to become the second-highest grossing movie at the domestic box office behind only 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'&nbsp;with $937 million.

'Avengers: Endgame'&nbsp;hit $2.6 billion in ticket sales worldwide, inching toward 'Avatar'&nbsp;and its $2.78 billion global box office record.

"John Wick 3" opened alongside Universal and Amblin's "A Dog's Journey" and Warner Bros and MGM's 'The Sun Is Also a Star.'

'A Dog`s Journey'&nbsp;arrived below expectations, launching at No 4 with $8 million from 3,200 venues.

It`s pacing significantly below 2017`s 'A Dog`s Purpose,'&nbsp;the original film in the saga about a canine`s adventure to find meaning.

That movie debuted with $18 million and went on to earn $64 million at the domestic box office. It became a big hit with international audiences, grossing $140 million overseas.

'A Dog's Journey'&nbsp;also opened with $15.46 million in 14 foreign markets, bringing its global debut to $23.46 million.

Jim Orr, Universal`s president of domestic distribution, noted that the sequel had similar reviews to "A Dog`s Purpose."

Audiences were more enthusiastic than critics, giving 'A Dog's Journey'&nbsp;an A Cinema Score compared to its 49% on Rotten Tomatoes.

"The first film had incredible legs," Orr said. " With the holiday weekend, we're optimistic about the run it will have."

This weekend's final new wide release, 'The Sun Is Also a Star,' collapsed with a disappointing $2.6 million bow from 2,073 theaters.

The YA romance drama, based on Nicola Yoon's novel, received mixed reviews.

It earned a lackluster B- CinemaScore, as well as a 51% on Rotten Tomatoes.

'Grown-ish' actress Yara Shahidi stars as a brainy student who forms a relationship with a charming exchange student ('Riverdale's'&nbsp;Charles Melton), as her family faces deportation.

"It reflects the genre," Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros&nbsp;domestic distribution chief, said of the $9 million film's underwhelming start.

"YA stories are really challenged theatrically. It feels like in the future, these kinds of movies may only be on streaming services."

Another Warner Bros. title, 'Detective Pikachu,'&nbsp;came in third place, adding $24.8 million during its second weekend in theaters.

The Pokemon adaptation with Ryan Reynolds has generated $94 million in North America.

Rounding out the top five is United Artist Releasing`s 'The Hustle,'&nbsp;pocketing $6 million over the three-day frame.

Rebel Wilson and Anne Hathaway co-star in the comedy, which has made $23 million to date.

Ticket sales are have fallen around 10% behind last year, according to Comscore.

Hollywood is banking on some big blockbusters, as well as a few surprise hits, to boost revenues during the busy summer movie season.
