Rogue One.

They need to remake the movie Kazaam! with Shaquille O'neal, and get it right this time.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice. The cut scene in the credits left it wide open.

John Carter. It's such a rich world filled with stories, and the movie wasn't bad. It was just marketed so poorly and everyone decided it would be a bomb before it was even released that it never really had a chance.

---

This was a wierd movie since it was set on Mars but had more of a space fantasy feel. If the same story took place "a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away", it would have been a lot more palatable. It sounds weird to say but when the book was written, Mars was some far away unknown. Today it is seen as a known entity and less foreign/mysterious than Tibet or Katmandu.

Add in cost, and it was a pretty long shot for the studio.

The space fantasy feel really fit within the books, I believe the genre was called "sword and planet", or basically sword and sorcery in space. Flash Gordon, and by proxy, Star Wars, really drew a lot on it and similar stories to go beyond the solar system.

I think the mistake they made was not playing up that part of it. They removed the "of Mars" from the title somewhere in the middle of production and iirc, didn't even mention that it was Edgar Rice Burroughs or any influences when marketing. It's the same as when they made Journey to the Center of the Earth a few years back...play up the adventure, play up the fantastical, make it almost a wink and nudge as saying, yeah we know it's a ridiculous premise now that we actually understand what it's like, but here's what folks in the late 1800s/early 1900s thought was there. Isn't it cool?

TRON: Legacy

There was a cartoon that was actually very good set in the TRON universe within the last 5 - 6 years. Sadly, even it was cancelled too soon.

The Nicholas Cage movie not the animated one.

I agree with the comments about The Nice Guys needing a series.

Master and Commander is the same way. I felt like they did such a good job building up the characters and the setting that it was a shame not to use them in more stories.

Almost Famous
Rounders

I was going to half-jokingly say Cobra and Tango and Cash but apparently sequels to both may be on the way. If that happens, they will both be ridiculous and I'll likely enjoy them nonetheless.

-American History X
-Rounders
-Good Will Hunting (another beat me to it)

---

I can't imagine ANY of those needing or having a sequel.

---

Rounders could use a sequel that follows Damon's character playing in the world series, kind of like the end of Color of Money.

I wouldn't want an Inception sequel, but I would like another Inception movie based in the same universe with other teams trying to extract information.

There's a fantastic episode of "What Really Happened?" Podcast that goes through all of this. Really fascinating listen.

There can be only one.

Hell they even refused to update it for Fantasia 2000

I agree with Master and Commander,Tron: Legacy, and John Carter.
I also agree with Rogue One, not in the sense of a true sequal, but a Star Wars movie with a similiar feel, another Star Wars story set in the OT that follows a group of "regular guys" no crazy jedi stuff. Make it about pilots, grunts imperials whatever...might be better as a Disney Plus show.

I'd like to see the thrid Independence Day movie. The second one wasnt great, but I want the story completed.

I believe there were plans for a 3rd Independence Day movie but the 2nd one was such a flop they shelved it.

Not a move, but a series. Lights Out was money
