Netflix: Only one week left to see this sequel that should never have seen the light of day

It’s an undeniable fact: Men in Black is one of the most profitable franchises in American cinema. This adaptation of the comic book of the same name allowed Sony to earn more than 1.5 billion dollars with its first three films.

Men in Black: International isn’t that big of a financial disappointment, as it will ultimately bring in between $245 and $300 million at the worldwide box office (on a $110 million budget). But that’s obviously not what we were aiming for with this license reset.(Business Insider).
