Because there were so many unanswered questions at the end of part one...

I hope they release it in theaters rather than just on streaming. I really liked the first movie and the novel it was based on.

Of course it's on streaming. Why wouldn't it? Seems where films that aren't massive IP movies go anymore m

Someone didn’t read the article. Nowhere in the article does it say it’s going straight to streaming. Lionsgate is partnering with Amazon Studios to produce the sequel. It’ll most likely get theatrical and be on streaming after 45 days.

No. I just thought someone in here said it was. So thought that was the case.

This is the only post above yours mentioning streaming, and they don’t say it is, just that they hope it doesn’t.

You don’t always have to jump to righteous indignation.

I love the first one, but seriously, wtf?

[MazeRunner]

As someone who LOVES the first movie, no please.

[RandomMovieFan]

I just rewatched this and i loved it and it does not need a sequel but this will probably be brotherfu*king horrible.

It's interesting how in the time between the original and now my feelings on Blake Lively have soured so much. Since this is a Prime movie I may throw it on one evening, but I'd definitely skip this in theatres.
