“A sequel is an admission that you've been reduced to imitating yourself.”
Don Marquis
“It's very sweet to mention the word sequel, ... Obviously that's the way my brain works. It continues to tell stories. So it's inevitable for me that I do that, and of course I love this universe. I love these people, and I would jump at the chance to do it again.”
Joss Whedon
“'Star Wars' opened the door to the idea of a franchise that could be successful, even if a sequel doesn't do well. It made viable the idea that, with sequels, the law of diminishing returns doesn't always apply.”
Paul Dergarabedian
“The first 'Back' sequel earned $119 million, but the second only took in $88 million,”
“[Along with the new characters, producers added more fight scenes to this sequel.] I think that's one thing we decided was very important as a development, ... X2.”
Hugh Jackman
“I cannot explain why they made that sequel to Secret of NIMH. Because they claim that it the original didn't make money, so what was the enthusiasm to make a sequel?”
Don Bluth
“The first 'Back' sequel earned $119 million, but the second only took in $88 million. The third one wasn't that well reviewed.”
