Still, prior to release, the studio seemed interested in going forward with another, and they usually know what to expect when it comes to the box office.
After all, it took the Fast & Furious franchise a few tries to find its footing.
Whether or not there will be another movie in the series still remains to be seen. xXx: Return of Xander Cage opened in second place over the weekend, only bringing in half of what first place Split was able to do.
If xXx makes enough to make it worthwhile to give it another shot, we could see this one evolve into something that audiences will find equally appealing, maybe adding “weight” to it will be the next thing to try.
