10 More Movie Sequels You Have No Idea Were Just Released

10. Children Of The Corn

Hollywood seemingly can't let go of the Children of the Corn franchise, no matter that the horror series - adapted from Stephen King's 1977 short story - has never managed to find major critical or commercial success.

Earlier this year, the eleventh Children in the Corn movie was released, and though technically the third adaptation of King's story rather than a straight sequel, for all intents and purposes this is Just Another Children of the Corn Movie.

Given the series' general lack of commercial viability, it wasn't terribly surprising that the new Children of the Corn had only a quiet, brief theatrical run before unceremoniously hitting streaming.

And yes, in addition to grossing barely $500,000 globally at the box office, Kurt Wimmer's (Equilibrium) film was eviscerated by critics, who quite rightly pilloried it for its low production values and for failing to bring anything worthwhile to the ailing franchise.

In short, don't expect a direct sequel to materialise any time soon, though given the series' improbable longevity over 40 years (!), it'll probably return for a twelfth movie eventually.
