Apparently there has been talk about this for awhile but I never heard it. Now the studio has confirmed that it's happening.

By Paramount's Jim Gianapoulos:
"It's no secret we've had some difficult years at the box office."

Maybe it's because, judging from your upcoming line-up, you have no clue as to what people want--or rather, don't want--to see. World War Z 2? Dungeons & Dragons? What garbage!

Eh, until it starts, or finishes for that matter, primary photography just so much Hollywood hot air. So many projects "green lit" sitting in the pre-production pipe never to see even a script let alone casting etc.

For fuksakes leave it alone. Don’t ruin something else you hacks.

"Coming up next, Pongo's review of Rocky Five... Thousand."

Terminator 6? No, no no

What men want? I assume this is a sequel to the chick flick with Mel Gibson What Women Want? How would that work, some chick can read men's minds? I want sex, I want a sammich, I want to pee, I want sex, I want a sammich, I want to pee, I want sex, I want a sammich, etc

Sonic the Hedgehog??? That game franchise died out a long time ago, way to be a decade behind on that one. Every Dungeons and Dragons movie I have ever seen makes anything on Sy-Fi channel look big budget and sophisticated.

What a boat load of fail listed.

No, no more coming to America. We're full. Moose out front should have told ya.

Recently saw an ad for Overboard (2). With the roles reversed, wealthy man with amnesia instead of Goldie. How clever...

Cant come up with anything original, so remake a classic. Of course, it bombs!!

Just saw this... Umm, what?? He didn't screw around when he was in America, then he got married to the hottie at the end of the movie.

This is BS. Planning to skip this one.


Coming 2 America (2020)
Comedy | Post-production

Akeem learns he has a long-lost son in the United States and must return to America to meet the unlikely heir to the throne of Zamunda. A sequel to the 1988 comedy 'Coming to America'.

One of his “royal bathers” was phenom. I would have taken her all day over that McDowell’s lady. Hell there were hotter women at the sexual chocolate bikini contest

Watch the original again. It's still pretty funny. The problem is, you couldn't make that move today. The PC crowd would neuter it.
Start with this. Eddie Murphy with makeup on to be a white guy, a Jewish white guy at that.

Another un-needed "reboot".

(In case you SOMEHOW missed this tour de force cinematic masterpiece and were unaware it'd been made. Overboard 2018)

I think the only objection today would be "why are there any white people in it at all..."

That's acceptable. It's the whites who can no longer play anyone of color. Imagine Robert Downey Jr doing black face today. They'd be out in the streets rioting.

One of the funniest movies ever, if it's on, I stop

A sequel has an extraordinarily high likelihood of sucking, Hollywood is desperate for scripts, plots, stories, anything. Their model of big tent-pole movies and catering to overseas audiences (*cough, China) has crushed creativity

Well wait for it...................



It sucked! Played like a TV movie. Bad story, bad acting, bad directing. And THEY WOKED IT OUT1 There were some funny moments. The first barber shop scene was good. You could see the woke bullshit coming and it finally did. Seeing the old characters again was nostalgic but as I said a few years ago above, should have just left it the fuck alone.

Damn. Tenet has been the only solid release in a year now. Worst film drought of my life.

I disagree, Tenet was garbage and Coming 2 America was fine. Was it great? No, but it was a good enough light hearted watch not filed with violence and foul language.

Its good to have options

Wife and I watched it last night. It was just ok.

20 minutes in and I turned it off to watch paint dry which was more enjoyable.

Great example of why most movies shouldn’t get a sequel.
