 Get ready for a Bad Moms cinematic universe! Quote: As STX Entertainment’s hit comedy Bad Moms heads towards $180 million worldwide at the box office, the global media company has announced its first film offshoot of the brand, Bad Dads, will be released next year on July 14, 2017. STX Entertainment’s Motion Picture Group has numerous takes on this spinoff and will reveal additional details shortly.
STX says that sequels on average are grossing 68% less than the originals. Instead, STX has chosen to focus on extending consumer passion for the Bad Moms brand with a series of film spin-offs, a reality television show, short form digital content, and a robust consumer products program. ___________________________________________________________________________ "Audiences don't like comedy sequels, so, I guess, let's make an entire fucking universe out of it" _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: Get ready for a Bad Moms cinematic universe! Well, to be fair, this is what Wedding Crashers should have done!

Re: Get ready for a Bad Moms cinematic universe! Or maybe Wedding Crashers did it just right and left things the fuck alone.

Re: Get ready for a Bad Moms cinematic universe! It made $210m back in 2005. Financially, not making a sequel was a stupid move. Look at the all money The Hangover series made from the first being a breakout. You have to make the money when you can, otherwise the opportunity is gone.

Re: Get ready for a Bad Moms cinematic universe! It's a generally beloved comedy yeah and surely it's surprising they didn't make a sequel. It would have perfectly suited for it too.

Re: Get ready for a Bad Moms cinematic universe! Isn't every comedy about bad fathers? Isn't that why the concept of Bad Moms is funny? Or do people just like the word Bad.

Not many films of that level don't go on to have sequels. Although they're following in the footsteps of classics like Zoolander 2 and Dumb and Dumber To and making one now. Sub 50m is probably in the cards. _________________

Yeah, it seems like that, although Wedding Crashers made a lot more than Zoolander, and unlike those two films I believe the comedy in Wedding Crashers is not silly or dated like Dumb and Dumber and Zoolander, which are an acquired taste. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

Re: Get ready for a Bad Moms cinematic universe! I agree that Wedding Crashers style of comedy has probably aged well (compared to Zoolander in particular).
But I also think that those other films had cultural "legs" whereas Wedding Crashers was well-liked upon release, but probably not something people really quoted/talked about after a few years.
I hope it's good, but I question whether the audience has moved on from both the stars and the property.

Hmm, you may have a point there, however ... Will Ferrell's character is quoted all the time. So the film has been kept alive in comedy circles with that alone. lesterg wrote: I hope it's good, but I question whether the audience has moved on from both the stars and the property. And another good point, which The Internship probably answered for us. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG
