Do you think there will be a National Treasure 3???!


Question: The writers' strike has made it difficult to negotiate contracts. However, the odds of a National Treasure 3 are very good.

The movie made money. Nobody is looking for a sequel to Stardust. (Critics loved that movie, but it just sat there at the box office, and theatres were only too happy to dump it about as fast as they could.) While New Line Cinema wanted to make a franchaise out of His Dark Materials, The Golden Compass (the first movie in the proposed trilogy) cost an estimated $180,000,000 to make, and its worldwide gross receipts are estimated to be under $70,000,000. Plans for the next two films are at best "not going forward as planned at this time." (The same day that the movie was released, there was an announcement that there would be a sequel, called "The Subtle Knife". However, two months later, there is no director. Still, the movie might get made, if only because some of the things like costumes and computer-generated effects can be reused, which would make the film much less expensive than the first film in the series.) Although Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events wasn't a total dud at the box office (estimated cost of $140,000,000, and estimated box-office gross of roughly $120,000,000, which does not count DVD and television and merchandising), plans for a sequel were aborted.

The National Treasure films have done quite well at the box office, despite being not loved by critics. Critics think that the films are derrivative, but audiences love them because they seem so familiar.

As long as Nicholas Cage is willing to do a third movie, it will get done--some time. Negotiations are difficult as long as there is a writers' strike (after all, the movie needs a script), and Nicholas Cage is rather busy these days (he has completed Bangkok Dangerous, is filming G-Force, is slated to appear in Knowing and Amarillo Slim, and is announced for appearing in The Dance and Electric God, so he has a pretty full plate). But I fully expect the film to be made.

I hope not. Two was enough.

most likely. even though it will be about as good as the second one, it will get bad reviews, then stay at the top of the boxoffice for a while
