‘Road House’ Sequel in the Works at Amazon
By Jennifer Maas - May 14, 2024

A sequel to Amazon’s “Road House” movie is in the works with Jake Gyllenhaal reprising his leading role as Dalton.

While Amazon is keeping quiet on any other details for now, it still made sure to give the news of the high-profile project it’s due with Amazon MGM Studio chief Jennifer Salke revealing it at the top of its first-ever upfront presentation to advertisers Tuesday.

“As we saw this spring the world went crazy for a little movie called ‘Road House,'” Salke said on stage at the Pier 36 venue in New York City. “Nearly 8 million viewers globally have watched ‘Road House.’ We like to watch this these results like a baby.”

“Road House” was written by Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry. Joel Silver produced the film, which also stars Daniela Melchior, Billy Magnussen, Jessica Williams, Joaquim de Almeida, Conor McGregor and Lukas Gage, among others.

Per Amazon MGM Studios, its first “Road House” film “has attracted nearly 80 million worldwide viewers to-date. The film premiered on Prime Video March 21 and attracted a record-breaking over 50 million worldwide viewers over its first two weekends, becoming Amazon MGM Studios’ “most-watched produced film debut ever on a worldwide basis.”

It should be noted that streaming viewership numbers self-reported by platforms still come with many caveats. Amazon did not reveal what it considers a “view,” or how much of “Road House” consumers actually watched before Amazon counted them as part of its audience. The streamer also reported those “debut” figures with data over two weekends instead of one, which is the more traditional opening-weekend metric for films. And Amazon’s viewership figure isn’t just limited to that Friday through Sunday period. It includes the first 10 days that it was available to customers

Since some people will ask why is this happening. Or no one asked for this.

This.

I'm down. It was a pleasant throwback. Hopefully they go even more insane and over-the-top cheesy with the sequel.

[Doc Samson]

I didn't click with the first one at all. Not surprised to see a sequel in the works though, it was wildly popular.

[levcore]

Tone down the CG a bit for the next one hopefully.

Underrated actor, always been working but definitely deserved a bigger career.

As long as Conor McGregor doesn't return too, I'm in.

[CreasyBear]

Such is the state of cinema.



This was one of the worst fooking movies I've ever seen.

Erm....

I am here for this crossover.

Road House was enjoyable fluff. I look forward to watching the sequel for more fluff.

[Star Lord]

First one was a fun throwback, looking forward to this.

[Cremildo]

I'm down for this. Liman's movie was airheaded fun.

[Boccaccio]

I assume this will a different director then, since Doug Liman wasn't happy with the movie only being available on streaming.
