Will Riddick 4 reinvigorate the franchise?
Previous Chronicles of Riddick movies have had a mixed track record
The Chronicles of Riddick Franchise Has, historically, excelled on home viewing platforms. 2000s Pitch black became something of a cult classic, leading to The Chronicles of Riddick In 2004. With a substantial estimated budget of $110 million, the sequel grossed just $115.9 million worldwide, meaning it didn’t break even at the box office. The third film did not arrive until nine years later and was made with a much smaller estimated budget of 38 million dollars. The film was a modest hit and earned $98.3 million worldwide.

With the theatrical interest in the franchise not too enthusiastic (and the critical responses tend to be mixed), it is not surprising that a fourth film has taken so long to get off the ground. The premise of Riddick returning to his home planet where he faces off against a new enemy may suggest that Riddick: Fury will serve as something of a fresh start for the franchise. If no prior franchise knowledge is required for this new entry, it could end up bringing new fans on board.

Out of these Fast & Furious Franchise, which is close to its conclusion with the upcoming Fast and Furious 11Diesel hasn’t run a successful franchise in quite some time. Movies like bluchos And The Last Witch Hunter were not successful critically or commercially, and It is not clear how much of a draw diesel alone will be for those who have not seen the previous one Chronicles of Riddick films. It remains to be seen how Ridic: Furia Will charge, but audiences, at least, are in for some desert action.
