This from the L.A. Times:
"The studio's vice chairman, Rob Moore, confirmed that a sequel will soon go into development. The film's lead actors are contractually obligated to return for another film, though director Stephen Sommers is not."
That should make you non Sommer's fan's happy. Now if they could just get rid of Marlon Wayans and Channing Tatum (replace with Tyrese Gibson and Sam Worthington) then we could possibly be all set.
Below is the list of this past weekend's top movies.
1. "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" (Paramount/Spyglass): Opened to $56.2 million domestically and $44 million overseas.
2. "Julie & Julia" (Sony Pictures): $20.1 million on its first weekend.
3. "G-Force" (Disney): Down 44% on its third weekend to $9.8 million. Total ticket sales in the U.S. and Canada: $86.1 million. Not great given the $150-million production budget.
4. "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" (Warner Bros.): $8.9 million, a decline of 50% on its fourth weekend. Domestic total: $273.8 million.
5. "Funny People" (Universal/Sony/Relativity): A sharp drop of 65% on its second weekend to $7.9 million. Total domestic ticket sales: $40.4 million
