For the third instalment, the decision was made to stray further from the formula, which may have been done with the best intentions but didn't yield the desired results. Critics noted that a change was perhaps the right decision but still found little to enjoy, and audiences seem to agree based on the much reduced box office returns when compared to Part 2. Perhaps the high rate of piracy is related to the scores of disappointed audiences who turned out for the second movie - contributing to its record-breaking numbers - and then felt unwilling to 'risk' paying to see the third.
