A Brief History of the Grown Ups Franchise
The Grown Ups franchise, spearheaded by Adam Sandler, has been a financial success despite not winning over critics. While Sandler is famous for comedy hits like “The Waterboy,” “Anger Management,” and “Click,” he also enjoys collaborating with his comedy friends. The Grown Ups movies, released in 2010 and 2013, feature stars like Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, and Rob Schneider. Though the second movie was not as well-received as the first, it still managed to be a significant box-office success.
Will There Be a Grown Ups 3?
Speculation and rumors surrounding Grown Ups 3 have been ongoing, but solid information is scarce. Marie Bello, who appeared in the first two movies, hinted at a possibility, but without any concrete evidence of a script or plan. The lack of news for seven years doesn’t bode well for the continuation of the franchise. As of now, a third Grown Ups movie remains unconfirmed.
Expanding the Adam Sandler Universe
A decade after Grown Ups 2, Adam Sandler’s focus on sequels has shifted towards other projects like Hotel Transylvania and Murder Mystery 2. The absence of serious talk about Grown Ups 3 indicates a lack of real intent to revive the franchise. However, this growing interest in sequels may inspire Sandler to revisit Grown Ups after such a prolonged break.
Who Would Return for Grown Ups 3?
The return of the big names from the original Grown Ups movies would be vital for a third installment. Key cast members include Sandler, Rock, Spade, James, and potentially Schneider. The loss of Norm MacDonald and Cameron Boyce is notable.
A Parody Script and Potential Directions for Grown Ups 3
While there is no official update on the story for Grown Ups 3, comedian and writer Tom Scharpling penned a parody script that went viral. It revealed a meta-plot of the cast being stalked by a killer while filming the third movie. Although unlikely to be used, it presents a creative angle.
The Odds of Grown Ups 3 Happening
As of now, Grown Ups 3 has not been confirmed. The fading awareness of the brand and competition from other Sandler properties make it unlikely. Many fans are more interested in sequels to other Sandler movies like Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore.
Why Grown Ups 3 Could Be A Welcome Surprise
Despite the uncertainty, Grown Ups 3 presents an opportunity for unexpected success. Leaning into meta-humor, as in the Scharpling script, could produce a unique comedy. The double entendre of the Grown Ups title, referencing grown men playing youthful roles, adds an extra layer of satire. Sandler’s openness to self-parody, the renewed interest in slasher films, and Netflix’s current comedy trend all point to ways Grown Ups 3 could defy expectations.
In conclusion, while Grown Ups 3 remains unconfirmed and unlikely in the immediate future, it holds a unique position to surprise and delight audiences. If anyone can pull off an expectation-defying, genre-bending success, it might just be Sandler and his comedic team.
