"G.I. Joe" Sequel CONFIRMED

**RebelMan** · 08-11-2009, 08:18 PM

The film came in about $10 million under the opening weekend of "Star Trek," which earned $75.2 million domestically and about $35 million overseas. "G.I. Joe" did better internationally, where it grossed a studio-estimated $44 million, despite not yet launching in several key markets, including Germany and Italy. It underperformed "Trek" in the U.S. and Canada, where it opened to $56.2 million. Earning a $100 million worldwide, so far.

That's certainly good enough for Paramount to claim victory, however, and start thinking about the future. The studio's vice chairman, Rob Moore, confirmed that a sequel will soon go into development. The film's lead actors are contractually obligated to return for another film, though director Stephen Sommers is not.

I watched it yesterday and the sequel was expected already. The last scene says itself.
I'll looking forward to it.

Cool! Haven't watched it, yet, but I think I'll be seeing it on Sunday.

Saw the first one and it's amazing! Can't wait for the second one. So, the original cast will come back, right?
