Back in May of last year, Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer revealed that the studio could make as many as seven Power Rangers movies, and now that the big screen reboot is here, it seems that plans are being put into action for the future of the franchise.
“We already have a six-movie story arc,” Haim Saban, founder of Saban Entertainment, told Variety. “If this film is as successful as I hope on March 24th, on March 25th we’ll have the first story meeting for Movie No. 2.”
Power Rangers is looking at a domestic opening weekend in the region of $40 million, and while there’s no word yet on international box office, it certainly seems that Lionsgate and Saban will be keen to press ahead with its plans.
