Ryan Gosling has revealed the disappointing reason why ‘The Nice Guys’ did not receive a sequel. The 2016 action-comedy, starring Gosling and Russell Crowe, failed to secure a sequel due to its underwhelming box office performance, specifically its poor showing against the blockbuster animated film ‘Angry Birds’. Despite receiving positive reviews, ‘The Nice Guys’ only grossed $11.2 million compared to ‘Angry Birds” blockbuster revenue of $38 million.
The disappointment of ‘The Nice Guys’ at the box office has been cited by Ryan Gosling as the reason why a sequel to the comedy action film has not been made. ‘Angry Birds’ was cited as a significant competitor, dominating the box office upon its release and securing a sequel while ‘The Nice Guys’ struggled financially. Despite solid reviews and a star-studded cast, the film’s opening weekend was surpassed by both ‘Angry Birds’ and other releases such as ‘Neighbours 2’ and ‘Captain America: Civil War’, leading to a disparity in box office revenue and consequently, the decision to halt plans for a sequel.
The anticipated sequel to the 2016 action comedy ‘The Nice Guys’ remains uncertain, despite fan anticipation. Director Shane Black has previously hinted at the possibility of a sequel titled ‘The Mexican Detectives’ with Ryan Gosling. However, plans for a TV spin-off also fell through. The film’s underperformance at the box office, particularly against ‘Angry Birds,’ may have played a role in the lack of a sequel.
