Night at the Museum gets a sequel and not this...


How is it that a movie like Night at the Museum gets a sequel and not Mr. Brooks? It's probably one of the few movies, if not the only movie I've seen in nearly ten years that truly deserves a sequel. Not only to further expand on the characters but also go further with the story. Truly a shame that we'll never get to see it.

Its simple as that. From the profit of the museum movie alone you can do 2 50 MM movies or finance its sequel. Brooks didnt even earn enough for one new movie, not even its sequel.

Yes, it deserves a sequel. Maybe they could have Mr. Brooks ten years older...

For some reason, Kevin Costner never makes sequels.... ever.

I'd love a sequel, too, I'm going home but it just didn't make enough money to Warrant that unfortunately

I'd love a sequel of this one.

A clueless movie like SEX AND THE CITY had also a sequel while this really good movie is still a story without an end
