For several days in theaters you can see the movie Free Guy starring Ryan Reynolds. The production is doing great financially, and also receives positive reviews from critics and fans. Therefore, Disney became interested in creating a sequel, which was announced by Ryan Reynolds on his Tweeter.
People who follow Ryan Reynolds’ activity on the Internet may suspect that the actor’s entry is one of his many jokes directed at his fans. It turns out, however, that the tweet was shared by Shaun Levy, who is responsible for directing the film, as well as by 20th Century Studios itself. All indications are that the information given by Reynolds is not just a silly joke.
Movie Free Guy definitely scored a successful opening, by collecting more than 28 million US dollars in the US alone. Shawn Levy says the film’s success lies in Ryan Reynolds, who became the driving force behind the production.
An interesting fact is that Free Guy is Disney’s largest movie only released in cinemas during the pandemic. The movie Shang-Chi is set to premiere in cinemas soon , and will initially only be released on the big screen. Disney is experimenting and testing the market, and the conclusions that the creators will draw after the premiere of both productions are to be crucial in terms of releasing new titles to theaters.
