Ghost Busters
Gremlins
Good ones, Ghostbusters especially should have easily had a third.
When is the 3rd installment good?
Spiderman 3
X-Men 3
Iron Man 3
Godfather 3
Superman 3
They go down the drain fast, once producers and studio execs take over creative control.
Wayne's World
Ace Ventura
Under Siege
Short Circuit
Escape from NY/LA
Aren't they making a 3rd?
I see what you did there.Wayne's World Gross = 121m on 20m budget (domestic, counting overseas, 183m)
Wayne's World 2 Gross = 48m on 40m budget (no int'l numbers I could find)
That should explain why a third was never made. But, now that Myers and Carvey have kind of made up, it's getting ripe for a third installment for nostalgia purposes.
Jim Carey was under contract for the two Ace Ventura's and it seems he didn't like the script for the second one. WNC is the only sequel Carey has ever done so it seems he wants to stay far away from doing the same thing twice and who can blame him?
Under Seige - Really? This makes your list? The first one wasn't bad but the second was a train wreck.
Short Circuit - At a combined gross of $60m for both movies, this was never a real "hit". Having said that, it's ripe for a reboot. Has everything you need to be successful in today's market.
Lot of rumours but still up in the air. Technically Ghostbusters: The Video Game is the third movie. Ties up the Ivo Shandor storyline from the first film.
