15 Movie Sequels That Will Definitely Be Announced In 2017

One of 2016's most surprising box office successes was Mechanic: Resurrection, a belated five-years-later sequel to a movie that barely anyone remembers or talks about and did just OK at the box office.

On the same $40 million budget, Resurrection pulled in an impressive $125.7 million, almost $50 million more than its predecessor, ensuring that Jason Statham's latest action vehicle could indeed be a fully-fledged franchise.

There's been no word of a third film yet, but considering how well Resurrection did in spite of the lengthy gap between the first two films, there's clearly no rush.

Even so, Summit would do well to get Statham back on-board ASAP, keep the budget moderate and get this one churned out for a late 2018 or early 2019 release.
