is it too late for them to cancel this first one?

 

Probably not going to cancel it:

 

"For us as an independent company, it's more about managing expectations," Kulzer said by phone from Berlin. "Even if the movie performs moderately, it will still warrant a sequel. Now that $60 million has been spent worldwide on prints and advertising, you can already see how the book sales are accelerating, the soundtrack is hitting the charts. Even if the first one doesn't become a gigantic success, we will have a profitable track ahead of us."

It's a strategy similar to the one the company used for its "Resident Evil" horror franchise, which is aimed at young men. No movie in the five-film series opened to more than $26 million, and the total franchise gross for five films was only $244 million, but the movies were still profitable products that have prompted Constantin to contemplate a sixth installment

"With the 'Resident Evil' franchise, they were never that big theatrically but they made their money, and believe it or not we might do a 'Resident Evil 6' because all the distributors and Sony, in particular, really want it," Kulzer said.
