Before Ryan Coogler sinner Released into the world, he did not see it as the beginning of a franchise. In an interview published three days before the release of the film, the writer and director were very clear about it.
“I never think about it [sequels],” Kugler told Ebony Magazine. “I’ve been making spaces for franchise movies, so I want to get rid of that. I’m looking forward to a movie that is original and personal to me and has an appetite to offer the audience something original and unique. I want this movie to be like a complete meal: your appetizers, appetizers, main courses and desserts, I want all of them. I hope it is a whole thing to accomplish. That’s how I was asked. That’s always my intention. ”
These quotes have been touring in recent days, and that’s right. Since the article was published, sinner Continue to be a certified, even surprisingly explosive. It earned more than $265 million at the domestic box office and made another $80 million internationally. The budget is reportedly under $100 million, which proves that viewers like the movie and may want more. This was determined before the release, so any direct offer from Coogler himself would certainly attract attention.
Kugler himself obviously knew that the same was true. In a widely publicized agreement sinnerThe filmmaker restored all the rights to the film 25 years after its release. Usually, studios reserve these rights, but Coogler backed off. If he doesn’t think he’ll raise a controversy point sinner Have you lived a life besides this movie? Assuming, of course, because movies can make money forever, but there is certainly a motivation to own and control your own creations in some way. This is a confident move.
Also, don’t forget that Coogler also added a mid-term scene to his film, showing two of his main characters, Michael B. On the one hand, it can serve as a recognition that these characters will always exist. On the other hand, it may also be a story for the future.
So, yes. Before release sinnerRyan Coogler, of course, said he was not thinking about making a sequel. But that’s before the movie has been a huge success. Maybe this idea has changed.
