Battle: Los Angeles Getting a Sequel: Last year’s Battle: Los Angeles wasn’t a huge hit at the domestic box-office (it made $83 mil, with a production budget of $70 million), but it did do pretty well overseas – where it took in an additional $128 million in box office receipts. Apparently, that’s enough money to have Sony consider making a sequel.
Collider recently caught up with director Jonathan Liebesman while he was doing press for Wrath of the Titans, and the filmmaker had this to say:
“We’ve just started the script now, so that’s where we are. We have just begun the script. Just because I don’t want the studio to get pissed at me, I’m not sure what I can and can’t say about it. But what’s exciting is it sounds like the budget will be as big. They’re really going to make it an event.”
While a Battle: Los Angeles sequel isn’t officially a done deal, it seems like Sony is at least open to the possibility of continuing this franchise. Now the question is where does the Battle go next? We’re voting for Hoboken – Hollywood doesn’t make enough movies about that place.
