If you think we've had too many movies this year with the figures 3 or 4 in the title, brace yourself: plenty more are on the way.
That condition peculiar to the Hollywood studios- sequelitis- shows no sign of abating. Yet more instalments of the studios' biggest franchises are in the pipeline, which may prompt the question: How many sequels are too many?
Well, if the studios won't make that call, audiences will. As Tom Ortenberg, president of theatrical films at Lionsgate puts it, "The marketplace decides." Lionsgate is a believer in the "more is best" philosophy, as it will release Saw IV in the US in October and Sylvester Stallone's return to his one-man-army character, John Rambo, next year.
The upside for audiences — and studios - with sequels is that they can put familiar characters into different situations, and introduce new characters and fresh plot twists, like the various iterations of Pirates of the Caribbean and the Jason Bourne adventures.
