So Much For That Prince Of Persia Franchise & SATC 3 Possibilities
When you get beat by a green ogre that is one thing, but when you get beat by a green ogre one week after the movie opened and in it's fourth installment you know you have a crap movie. Both Prince of Persia and Sex And The City 2 got hammered by Shrek despite the fact that Shrek opened a week ago. SATC2 took in only 37M. It seems like a lot but that was with five days of screenings. For the first movie they got $75M in just 3 days. I declare the franchise dead. Or at least on life support.
As for Prince Of Persia, it somehow snuck past SATC2 yesterday by about $700K. I wonder if some individual went out and bought some tickets because it was definitely headed for 3rd. Although the movie has bombed here in the US, people overseas seem to like Jake G and the movie so there might be a glimmer of hope for a sequel. Plus they already have Jake signed to a sequel so they will probably make it just for the ancillary revenue like video games and action figures.
