10 Box Office Bombs That Somehow Still Got Sequels
Hollywood certainly works in mysterious ways. Except for high-profile producers and studio CEOs, no one really knows how Tinseltown really works, especially when it comes to sequels.
A movie can make hundreds of millions of dollars and still not get a sequel, even though the actors and fans want one.
