Part of fall in the Films may be attributed to his change in directorship. While Soderbergh helmed the first and third movies, he was only an executive producer on the second, which led to some disjointedness in the directorial vision. When the third film came out, Soderbergh didn’t manage to recover that, and it made a series-low $57.1 million at the worldwide box office. Because of Magic MikeIt’s loss of momentum, no potential Magic Mike 4 Or a spinoff is less and less likely.
