8 Upcoming Movie Sequels That Are Doomed To Fail
3. Triplets
Remember when Arnold Schwarzenegger came "back", bringing his most famous cinematic role with him? Remember how excited we all were? Remember how soul-crushingly disappointing the atrocious Terminator Genisys was? The memory is still painful.
And if Arnie's return to his most popular franchise failed so spectacularly, is there any way that Triplets - sequel to a far-less beloved property, Twins - can find success?
The movie is set to reunite Arnie with Danny DeVito, twin brothers who discover they have another sibling - Eddie Murphy. Besides the fact that DeVito and Murphy haven't done anything notable in years and aren't exactly in their prime, the concept of a slapstick family-friendly comedy seems completely out of touch when R-rated, cruder comedies are the ones dominating multiplexes every single year.
Plus, Twins was poorly received when it came out. It's an okay movie. It was never a high bar for comedy or a high point in Arnie's career, so revisiting the series can only result in a commercial and critical disaster.
