Movie Sequels Fans Can Expect In the Next Few Years

Space Jam 2

Space Jam's success was perplexing but undeniable. Released in 1996, Space Jam has become a cult classic and nostalgia trip. Both of those together add up to a franchise goldmine. The initial release made around $6 billion (after combining sales from the movie, graphic novel, pinball game, video games, toys, and more). This fan-favorite is sure to be a slam dunk!

Pirates of the Caribbean 6

Sure, this is pretty standard practice for the Pirate of the Caribbean franchise, making a new movie out of nowhere. But haven't we been missing Captain Jack Sparrow? Well, the seafarer is not back on the open seas, but he sent a friend. Johnny Depp has opted out of this flick, and he's been replaced with a swashbuckling female pirate in his place. Keep your eyes on the box office for this one!
