10 Terrible 2017 Films That Will Get Sequels Anyway
10. Baywatch
Anything starring the Rock is pretty much critic-proof, but even Dwayne Johnson couldn't stop the Baywatch remake from sinking like, well, a rock.
The reboot nobody asked for received a critical battering, and deservedly so. The humour was puerile and the story was forgettable, but somewhere between Johnson's biceps and $177.9 million in box office takings, it did enough to spark sequel chatter.
In an interview with Variety, producer Beau Flynn revealed Baywatch 2 could be washing up in theatres at some point. Writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift are already working on a script, and the cast are poised to don their bathing suits again.
Given that the Rock is immune to commercial failure and the original made a tidy profit, Paramount Pictures will likely see another instalment as a no-brainer, which is also an accurate way of describing anyone who's excited about this.
