That’s because Daddy’s Home grossed $242.8 million at the box office back in 2015, while the first Anchorman only managed $90.6 million, Step Brothers made $128.1 million and Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues grossed $173.6 million.
While Daddy’s Home doesn’t have the same reputation as Step Brothers or Anchorman, it is actually the most successful financially.
The potential sequels to Step Brothers and Anchorman, and the confirmed Daddy’s Home follow-up will do.
It’s understandable that Will Ferrell isn’t looking to reprise his roles from the above trio of films anytime soon.
