There also are new plans for its superhero properties, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, but they will still take some time to be put into motion, given the MCU’s currently packed Phase IV schedule.

Disney has been fast to act on its newly acquired assets, already announcing remakes for its ‘Night at the Museum’, ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’, and ‘ Home Alone’ series of films. The second factor that may be throwing a spanner in the works is the acquisition of Fox and all its properties by Disney, including this one. That the sequel failed despite being made on more than twice the budget didn’t make things better either.Īs of today, the sequel sits at a disappointing 29% on Rotten Tomatoes, with roughly the same audience score, as opposed to the 65% for its predecessor, and vastly improved audience score. So, adjusted for inflation, that figure may even be three-fold, or more. That sounds worse on multiple counts given that ‘Independence Day’ came out twenty years before the sequel. ‘Independence Day: Resurgence’ ended up grossing close to $389 Million worldwide, less than half of what the first film did. Read on.Įven if you are on the side of the rare minority that actually liked the second film, and are waiting for a third one to see the light of the day, I will state that the wait might be in vain, and the principal reason for that, as is the principal reason for any sequel getting cancelled in tinsel town: the dismal box office performance of the film preceding it, deeming it no longer lucrative for the production company to carry the franchise forward. For now, let’s examine the causes of the dead silence on the front of getting a third ‘Independence Day’ film. There are no quick answers here, but for those still looking, I’ll have you know that currently, all seems to be quiet on the western front, even more than usual, since there usually is chatter of a sequel even before a film releases, its box office fate notwithstanding. What we are here to examine though, is how the current situation of the two films in the franchise lends itself to the scope and possibility of a sequel.
The second film, and there is no simpler way to say this, failed to recreate the glory of its predecessor, and the reasons for that are a potential topic for another article.
