Day: September 8, 2016

While Now You See Me wasn’t exactly a blockbuster, the film grossed $351.7 million, four times as much as its $75 million budget. It’s likely the film would have grossed more if they hadn’t filled the cast with such high priced talent. A sequel came as no surprise. With Jon M. Chu (Step Up 2: The Streets, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never) taking over directing duties from Louis Leterrier, this is a flashier affair, reminiscent of the “Ocean’s” films.
