Do you think they will ever consider making a 3rd one ?
The 2nd was actually enjoyable to me so I would like to see it happen.
what do you guys think ?
You people are what is wrong with movies these days. You beg for unnecessary sequels because "well the first two were profitable" So stupid. No wonder nobody is going to see movies anymore.

I came up with the perfect, perfect idea for Weekend at Bernie's 3. It would work with all 3 actors at their current ages, and it actually has the potential to be a good movie as opposed to some crap with voodoo or zombies or whatever. I'll explain at some point.

They should make Bernie 3 when Terry Kiser dies. It would be the best one yet because they'd be using his real corpse.
Seriously, every friggin movie doesn't need a string of awful sequels behind it, nor do good movies need to be remade and ultimately ruined by Hollywood.
In September of 2012, I was disgusted with the awful-sounding "Bernie Does Extreme Sports" version of Weekend at Bernie's 3 that Terry Kiser was pushing. Then it hit me...
What if an angry fan, who doesn't want the "legacy" of Weekend at Bernie's to be ruined with this awful sequel idea, kills Terry Kiser. Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman arrive at Kiser's Malibu beach house to discuss Weekend at Bernie's 3...but Kiser is dead. McCarthy and Silverman, having been somewhat obscure in recent years, had really been banking on WaB3 to revive their acting careers.
So, of course, McCarthy (or maybe in a role-reversal, Silverman) suggests "why don't we just pretend he didn't die?" The pair then have to carry Kiser's corpse around Hollywood, meet with producers and film the sequel, all with Kiser actually dead.
Despite the fact that the film-within-the-film is clearly awful, the audiences love it. Standing ovation at Cannes, critical acclaim, Academy Awards. Silverman and McCarthy have to keep up the charade the whole time including bringing Kiser up on stage for his Best Actor trophy.
That, my friends, is your Weekend at Bernie's 3. We know Kiser would do it. McCarthy has said in recent interviews that he loves Bernie. Silverman has also said in recent interviews that he "could be persuaded..." to do another. McCarthy now directs television episodes, so maybe he could direct the real WaB3 and the fictional McCarthy could be the director of the fictional WaB3 within the movie. So many layers!
I know what the final shot would be too (I know quite a bit more - it really writes itself).

Did you ever read the mock superhero comic Deadman in National Lampoon? A man is killed in a laboratory explosion but his body is coated with chemicals turning him into an indestructible corpse. His assistant/butler/limo driver hauls his body around and foils crimes by tossing the corpse into the path of criminals causing them to trip, crash their car or whatever. Deadman never decomposes. The same thing could happen to Bernie!
