Expendables Franchise Done

With the latest movie in the franchise(Exp 3) bombing in the North American box office this weekend I think we can safely say this will put an end to the series. I think the reasons for its horrible opening might be a combination of its PG-13 rating(the reason I passed on it) and the movie being leaked onto the black market. This has also been a series of flops for Stallone and his movies may start to be scaled back some now as well.

There is one thing that could help the franchise. Make a serious hard R action movie with a strong story where some of the teammembers are getting killed. EX3 was the same movie as EX2.

Although I really liked the movie!

Nothing is officially done so just relax. There will be a fourth movie without a doubt. America is not the only place the movie can make money. And they will get the money for EX4.
And by the way this belongs in the off topic forum.

Lionsgate bought the rights to The Expendables franchise. So that means they will do something with it otherwise they wouldn't have bought it. It still would be cool to have an Expendables 5 with Seagal in it. Now that Avi Lerner is out of the picture, there is a possibility that all the people who had problems with him (Sly Stallone, Terry Crews and Steven Seagal) could be in it. What do you think about this?? Maybe they will do a streaming series.....

I wouldn't count on it since Seagal is persona non-grata in Hollywood. But I always thought that he'd make a great cameo in an expendables movie, as like a supporting character, or even a villain.

There are already 4 Expendables movies, the latest was awful...Sly said that he wanted to see the franchise go ahead without him, with Jason Statham as the main star. With Seagal on it? I don't think so, but I don't think it's impossible either
