Warner Bros. has confirmed that they have plans for new Gremlins and Goonies films The studios’ co-chairman/CEOs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy recently spoke with Deadline for a new interview, during which they confirmed that there are plans afoot for new entries in those franchises along with the widely-expected A Minecraft Movie sequel. De Luca said that sequels to Minecraft and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will be developed “imminently,” noting, “The ink might not be dry on the deals yet, but imminently.
” Meanwhile, Abdy said, “We’re super excited about Amblin developing with Chris Columbus new entries in the Gremlins and Goonies franchises.” The conversation comes in the wake of Minecraft’s heavy success; the movie has grossed $281 million domestically and $550.6 million worldwide in just 10 days, so it’s no surprise that a sequel to it is likely to happen.
A third Beetlejuice film would follow on Beetlejuice Beetlejuice being well-received by critics and fans and grossing $451.9 million worldwide against a $100 million budget. Gremlins hasn’t seen a new film since 1990’s Gremlins 2: The New Batch but has seen life on TV with the animated Gremlins prequel, whose second season Gremlins: The Wild Batch just released its second half on Friday.
Finally, a Goonies sequel was confirmed in February with Potsy Ponciroli attached to write..
