The Gray Man, which is the most expensive film to date, is going to be turned into a major franchise by the company. The directors of the first film, Joe and Anthony, are coming back to make a sequel. The follow-up was not said when it would arrive.
Wernick and Reese are working on a spinoff from Zombieland. The Gray Man universe will be explored in a different way by the movie, but it's not releasing much information at the moment.
The Gray Man appears to have been a hit with viewers despite alukewarm reviews. It has a good score on the Tomatoes. When it was released last Friday, it was the number one movie on the streaming service. More specific data is not yet available.
It's not clear whether that success will help keep subscribers and attract new ones. In the last quarter, the company lost almost a million subscribers.
The Gray Man cost $200 million to make, according to reports. It's not a big deal that the company is turning it into a franchise. The follow ups to Army of the Dead and Extraction are in the works. The sequel to Knives Out was snapped up by the streaming service.
In case it's not clear, the company is very interested in building its own brands. "We want to have our version of Star Wars or our version of Harry Potter, and we're working very hard to build that," said the company's vice president.
There are a number of hit franchises on the streaming service. Stage play and a spin-off series are in the works. A Korean version of La Casa de Papel is being worked on by the company. Beyond the core shows, it's expanding Squid Game and Bridgerton.
