It went on to make half the money of the original at the box office.
The sequel didn’t have Keanu, but somehow it still cost five times more money to produce.
The bomb-on-a-bus movie Speed starred an unknown Sandra Bullock and a first-time action star in Keanu Reeves and was made for a fairly modest $30 million.
If it had been made for the same money as the first, it would have been a profitable endeavor, if not as successful as the original.
