And we still have xXx 3, Trainspotting 2, and John Wick 2 among others coming out in 2017.

 But its okay because we're getting super innovate new concepts like Monster Trucks

One of these things is not like the others

I know. But xXx 3 is only the second film to star Xander Cage.

A year of movies with only sequels and franchises, can the city of  angels do it ?

Studios don't have a magic formula that tells them which sequels will do good money and which won't. We got two Taken sequels!!! And both did a lot of cash. 

 

If I were a Disney, Paramount, Universal or Lionsgate executive I would have also greenlighted Alice 2, TMNT2, Neighbors 2 and NYSM2.

? Most schools do not go back at all in August or at least in the early part of August. And yet all schools are in right now. If I'm wrong I'm wrong but there's no way Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles opens up to 25 million or less.

I know that schools get back in session in early August in Georgia, my home state. And I know for a fact that tons of schools got out before Memorial day.

Are there any recent franchises whose quality was consistent over three or more installments other than Twilight and Expendables?

Harry Potter, if that counts as recent enough.

Mission Impossible has been a freakishly consistent franchise

I would say that most people would agree LotR, Hobbit and TDK are consistent over the three movies of each trilogy.

Not good for TMNT2. Great for Me Before You.

 

I predicted $3.5m for Popstar lol.

Greenlighting Neighbors 2 was not a bad choice. The movie is not pricey, so Universal will make a healthy profit off of it.

A rare example of a series that got better as time went on. Most HP fans think the Chris Columbus movies are vastly inferior to the ones that came afterwards.

 

Fast & Furious is another one like this.

[Cmasterclay]

John Wick is one movie I actually really WANT a sequel for, tbh. They did some really cool worldbuilding there, and also, it'll be fun as fuck.

LotR certainly (though I didn't think of that as recent enough considering it's been 15 years since the first movie), TDK I can see, but Hobbit? Noooo. A lot of its fans hated BotFA.

They're wrong.

Nah, I would say if you ask most GA would agree they are in the same range of quality and even most fans.
