Jack Reacher is yet to open in several territories, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will struggle to make enough money to justify a sequel.
The action thriller – which stars Tom Cruise – has grossed $153m thus far, with THR sources claiming that the film will need to gross more than $250m for studio Paramount to even consider a follow-up.
That means Reacher would have to score big in Japan, China and Korea, which isn’t out of the question as Cruise is a huge star in Asia.
But it’s hardly the franchise starter that Paramount was hoping from, and a long way from the gross of Cruise’s last film, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, which scored a whopping $694.7m worldwide.
Chris Tilly is the Entertainment Editor for IGN in the UK and wonders if Jack Reacher would have done better if they'd cast someone who actually resembled the character physically. His words can be found on both Twitter and MyIGN.
