shit they're doing a HANSEL AND GRETEL sequel to that horrible ass dreck Renner and Arterton starred in back in January.

it made *NO* money in the states but turned a profit overseas and now they're doing a sequel. SMH

and i still can't believe that the Renner Bourne is moving forward with a sequel either...the movie wasn't that good.

probably a lot. Look at how much money these later FF sequels have made...yea, studios saw dollar signs and that's why they're making another Reacher movie...
