20th Century Fox had originally slated a February 2017 release date for The Maze Runner: The Death Cure, but the project was delayed a year after a tragic accident.
The Maze Runner started the franchise off on a Fresh note with a 65% rating, although the sequel The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials seemed to rub critics the wrong way with a 46% rating.
After posting minimal decreases, and facing minimal competition, Sony’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle has proven to be a box office hit, winning the last three weekends in a row, although that streak is likely in jeopardy with the release of 20th Century Fox’s The Maze Runner: The Death Cure.
The first two Maze Runner movies weren’t massive hits at the box office, but both were solid performers, putting up rock hard worldwide grosses against minimal budgets.
