Anchorman 2 took a slight step back but still provided plenty of the same absurdity that made the original so memorable.
Anchorman 2 earned over $170 million at the worldwide box office, proving that the franchise can still turn a big profit if Ferrell, McKay & Co. wanted to complete a trilogy.
But Anchorman 3 would almost certainly be a box office success and the characters are certainly memorable enough to carry at least one more movie.
What’s certain is there’s still demand for another Anchorman movie and if there’s any recent comedy franchise that deserves a full trilogy, it’s this one.
