The Rock........coulda had a nice sequel years later. RIP Sean Connery
I think they are doing one for a Christmas story.
With HP - the cursed child was horrible. That’s basically HP8.So what movie sequel (or even a remake) do you think would make the most money? Obviously I realize money doesn't equal best movie, but the question is just about money.
I would call the following list shameless cash grabs. I'm not assessing if a good story can be fully mined out from these IPs, but you wanted it strictly about box office and money making potential.
1) Harry Potter Part 8 - Bring back the original three kids as adults in a stand alone story. Will get boycotted because of JK Rowling, but the franchise is basically a money printing machine.
2) Iron Man 4 - Bring back RDJ in a stand alone story that happens pre Infinity War
2A) Iron Man 5 - Lay the seeds to Tom Cruise inheriting the mantle of Iron Man from Iron Man 4. This would be a post End Game story.
3) Avengers 2.5 - Bring back all original Avengers for a stand alone story between Age Of Ultron and Infinity War
4) LOTR Epilogue - In the actual books, the original surviving fellowship spent months together in the outdoors, because they knew their friendship would have to part and likely permanently. Bring back Peter Jackson and put them in a stand alone adventure. I get that everyone is too old now, but it would be a money making machine anyway.
5) The Godfather Part 4 - Leonardo DiCaprio was approached 15-20 years ago to see if he would play young Sonny Corleone. So put in Robert DeNiro as aging Vito Corleone, who is older but not as old as Brando was in the timeline. Use Al Pacino and Andy Garcia in flash forwards for cameos. Build the movie around Sonny, let Scorsese direct it. Use Joe Pesci as the main enemy/antagonist.
6) Interstellar Part 2 - This film has a huge cult following. Christopher Nolan has his own cult following. Astronaut Rust Cohle and the mind numbing actress who shall not be named carry enough star power to carry a film. There is also enough set up at the end of the original to create a sequel. What's interesting is you can bring back Timothee Chalamet in some fashion to replay the role of the son, because that will cash in on his ability to drag in the teen audience/women and cash in on the Dune hype.
7) Alien 3/Colonial Marines - Just let James Cameron do a sequel to Aliens. Call Alien 3 a dream sequence while Ripley was in Cryo Sleep and wipe out all the other movies from the canon. Bring back Sigourey Weaver and Michael Biehn as older versions of their characters. In charge of a lot of Colonial Marines. Have them invade the Aliens homeworld. Make it a full on war/siege.
8) Predator 3 - Wipe out all films after Predator 2 from canon and the timeline. Have Arnie return as Dutch. Have the ship from the end of Predator 2 ( There were 7-8 Predators in that scene) capture Dutch. Have the entire movie about Dutch trying to escape the ship in space while fighting multiple Predators. Change the format. Now Dutch has to hunt them while trying to find the escape shuttle. Make it essentially like System Shock 2 in spirit. Bring back Danny Glover and Adam Baldwin in cameos.
9) Tropic Thunder 2: The Les Grossman Story - Bring back Tom Cruise as Les Grossman and spend the entire movie with him. Full on satire/comedy. You can bring back the original Tropic cast in supporting parts.
Silence of the Lambs had two sequels and two prequels.Bros 2..........too soon??
Another Silence of the Lambs while Mr Hopkins can still do it? Jodie Foster must be in it. The right story, cast, and promotion could cause a flurry.
I'm a huge Vince Flynn fan and the books are continuing, so it's not related to that. I am pretty sure it's because the casting was not very accurate to the book and was WAY off on parts of the actual story and character development.I'm surprised American Assassin never became a Jason Bourne type empire of movies, since the spy/adventure genre appeals pretty well. Could be related to author Vince Flynn passing away from cancer, but would love to see another movie or two. Plenty of books to work from.
How are the books continuing? He died in 2013? I'm not aware of story and character development missteps, but who cares. These sorts of movies are going to make money.I'm a huge Vince Flynn fan and the books are continuing, so it's not related to that.

Surprising. Action, international intrigue, hot double agent, nuclear threat, it checked all my boxes for a mindless action flick just fine. I loved the scene where Keaton was explaining how his understudy was torturing him wrong. Not a perfect movie by any stretch but definitely opportunity for an improved sequel.

Fans are going to care when you have 6 or 7 books developing a character and it's nowhere near the mark. It was also panned by just about everyone and only had an audience score of 60% on RT. The box office was only 36M in the US, 67M globally, those numbers don't get you a sequel.

I've never understood why they haven't tried. There were a thousand people on that boat. Tell the stories of some of the others. Easy. Some of the third class passengers. The guys in the boiler room. Heck they could even set a murder mystery on board. The ticking clock as everyone in the audience knows the boat is doomed in the third act would be a great plot device to power a dozen good movies.
As idiotic as it sounds, there is a Titanic 2. It's on one of those free streaming services. No, I have not seen it
I’m guessing it begins with Jack’s rotting corpse resting on the sizable wooden board that Rose wouldn’t let him on.As idiotic as it sounds, there is a Titanic 2. It's on one of those free streaming services. No, I have not seen it
Throw in some flying sharks attacking the lifeboats and I think you have a winner.Titanic

They could make another drama. A comedy. A mystery. A western. All set on the boat. Huge untapped potential.
Think it's been pretty well done by now. I loved Alec Baldwin in October, hated Skywalker in the sequels/spinoffs, Ben Affleck was meh, really liked season one of the Amazon series.If you found the right actor, a Jack Ryan reboot would crush

I like the idea of remaking this, but based on how great the original was, I expect to come away disappointed.This is Spinal Tap sequel shooting in 2024.
Not a fan of sequels for these kind of classics, but the premise of a "Last Waltz"-style mockumentary is excellent.
