Because we need to fix that spycar shit and get back to a racing themed story...
God, that was hard to type
How else are they going to conclude the generational phenomenon that is Lightning McQueen's story?
Because young kids really, really, really love Cars.

Hmmm, won't be the same without Colin Firth who was the best thing about the first one as far as i am concerned 
Cars is by far the most popular Pixar franchise of all time.

Hopefully Mark Strong will return, at least.
I went into that movie knowing absolutely nothing about it. I figured it was a kitschy spy flick with lots of gadgets based on the ads.
I was all "this is a bit more graphically violent than I expected". Then the
church
I fucking love that movie.

Neat. The original was pretty good.
But yeah, I didn't see Cars 2 and will ignore part 3 as well.
It makes money.

The spy shit was awesome. Cars 2's opening scene on the oil rig was one of the best scenes that year.
It was when it tried to be a Cars movie that it sucked.

Because anything with Lightning as the protagonist gets a trilogy.
Really?

Not every movie needs a sequel. Kingsman was new and fresh and one of the best movies I'd seen in a while. You just know the shtick will have worn off a bit and while it probably will make more money, just won't be as good. Not a fan of milking any new movie with unnecessary sequels.
That's painful to hear. It's pretty much the only batch of shitty Pixar films ever made. I bet it's the reason Disney went balls deep(er) into Pixar though.
Yeah, bad date. This kind of movie would do much better during a slow burn season like spring or mid-fall. Getting overlooked by summer's fickle fans is a mistake. Not that Cars is gonna hurt it, but the PG-13+ tentpole shit will.

As much as I liked Kingsman, I don't think it needed a sequel.

I loved the movie, but he said successful. FR barely broke even in American theaters, if memory serves.

i don't really like the movie much but I'd watch a sequel if they get some supporting cast as good as colin firth and sam jackson were.
if it relies more heavily on the kid then lol hell no.

Mad Max crawled even worldwide. It hit the 2.5x multiplier. So it was definitely a small success in that front.
The bigger success came from how well reviewed it was and its legs. It will have solid sales on DVDs and may even pick up a few Oscar noms. And with how well it is being hailed by critics, not just technical noms but it could grab an acting and best picture nom.
Mad Max did around what Star Trek 09 did WW. WB isn't disappointed and is moving forward. That's successful for me.
Also, Mad Max made more money than Kingsman, which means regardless Mad Max's budget, Kingsman would be very successful with those numbers.

And why would I want them?
I never really understood how big Cars was until earlier this year when my three year old became basically obsessed with the movie and the characters from it. They have entire toy sections dedicated to cars at Walmart/Target. Disneyland California Adventure has a Cars Land that is seriously an exact replica of Radiator Springs. We were just there, it's fucking insane, especially at night. It makes sense they are doing a Cars 3 and it will probably eventually be the highest grossing Pixar film ever.
You underestimate the popularity of Cars with kids. At best, Kingsman 2 will serve as counter programming.
More Swedish butt crack in the sequel though.
Now how much will you pay???
But wait, there's more!
