10 Recent Movie Sequels NOBODY Expected To Be Good
1. Code 8: Part II
The Stephen and Robbie Amell-starring sci-fi flick Code 8 didn't exactly light up the box office in 2019, but became something of a word-of-mouth hit when it landed on Netflix in early 2020.
After a planned spin-off series at Quibi - remember Quibi? - was cancelled, director Jeff Chan worked on developing a movie sequel instead, as ultimately began shooting in late 2021 for release on Netflix.
However, it was a full two years after shooting wrapped before Code 8: Part II finally hit the streaming platform, leaving some to believe that the project had hit sit some serious snags during post-production.
The lack of pre-release reviews also didn't help, and while most fans seem to agree that Part II didn't quite hit the highs of its predecessor, it was still largely accepted to be a rock solid sequel.
As for whether Part III will ever materialise? We'll have to wait and see.
