10 More Movie Sequels You Have No Idea Were Just Released

All but the most ardent Nicolas Cage evangelists will have long forgotten 2014's post-apocalyptic Christian propaganda film Left Behind, which starred Cage as an airline pilot caught in the middle of the rapture.

Releasing right in the middle of Cage's excruciating flop era, Left Behind is most notable for scoring a brutal 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, after which audiences en masse basically agreed to pretend that it didn't exist.

But this past January a sequel, Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist, was released, with Kevin Sorbo both directing and replacing Cage in the role of pilot Rayford Steele, in what must surely be an all-timer sequel casting downgrade.

The film, set six months after the Cage-starring original, failed to do much business theatrically, grossing barely $4 million globally compared to the 2014 movie's $27.4 million.

Given how reliably Christian moviegoers will flock to see just about anything that preaches their message no matter the quality, it's telling how soundly even they rejected this, while its barren Rotten Tomatoes page confirms that few mainstream critics even took the time to review it.
