That seems extremely excessive for something that will likely be terrible.

They probably make this much in an hour from either the marketplace portion or AWS.

I guess Amazon wants to have a film for christmas and the first one grossed $288 million worldwide + Paramount probably payed Eddie and Arsenio good money to reprise the roles.

I was wondering how much it cost to get Eddie and Arsenio to sign on for this sequel.

This movie represents such a treasured memory of my childhood bc absolutely ever time it was on, I'd watch it with my dad and we had so much fun. When Sexual chocolate started playing my dad would laugh like a kid and it's the one memory of him I still have very vividly in my mind 💜

I hope the sequel is good bc the original is a classic.

pay taxes instead

This all sounds horrible; like, he adored the lady he eventually married. How the fuck does he have a lost son in NY?

Maybe she couldn't adapt to "royal life" and left him while having a child in womb?

IDK. I have so many wonderful memories around the first one. I hope they didn't royally fuck it up.

I was just thinking the same

[lloyd_llewellyn]

because he fucked around off screen?

Hollywood can't do a single original thing, literally worthless. Burn it all down.
