Nightstalkers Spin-Off Waits on Blade 3 Numbers
The slow box office for Blade Trinity is putting the Nightstalkers spin-off franchise in doubt.
No decision will be made on whether to go ahead with a planned Nightstalkers spin-off until the producers of Blade Trinity see how the film does in DVD and video rental and sales.
The Nightstalkers film would star Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel from Blade Trinity. But New Line Cinema exec Tony Emmerich told Creature Corner: "There are no plans right now for a Nightstalkers film until I see how well Blade: Trinity does on video."
Blade Trinity cost $65 million to make and has earned just $70 million so far, compared to the $131.2 million earned by the first movie and $155 million for the second.
