Will there be a “Taken 3”? The weekend’s $50 million opening box-office blast for "Taken 2" was still resonating Monday, but the Liam Neeson thriller's $67 million in overseas box office is the most powerful argument for a second sequel.
“That’s James Bond and Jason Bourne territory,” said Jeff Bock, senior analyst at Exhibitor Relations. “I doubt Fox planned on having a franchise with a 60-year-old action hero on their hands, but they’ve got one.”
Fox maintains it hasn't decided yet, but Hollywood’s never been shy about going back to the well, so they’ll get around to it pretty quickly.
