Could Vacation Friends 2 Launch a Franchise?
Now that the two couples have officially become friends, they decide to embark on a vacation together. However, Marcus has not yet informed Ron and Kyla that their luxurious hotel stay is actually part of an important business trip for him. Unfortunately, their plans quickly become more complex with the unexpected arrival of two individuals. Firstly, there's Marcus' potential business associate, Ronny Chieng. Additionally, Kyla's recently released father, Steve Buscemi, who has just completed his sentence at San Quentin, joins them, leading to a series of thrilling and action-packed adventures.
The unexpected announcement of a sequel to Vacation Friends raises eyebrows, considering the swift reunion of the ensemble. Moreover, the initial film garnered mixed reviews in 2021, achieving a lukewarm 57 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes and an even lower audience rating of 52 percent.
However, the movie appears to have attracted a significant audience. Although Hulu has not officially disclosed the viewership numbers for Vacation Friends, according to Nielsen, it debuted with 2.75 million views, surpassing both Cruella and He's All That. Interestingly, this figure reportedly exceeds the premiere of Hulu's popular erotic thriller Deep Water, featuring Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas, in the following year.
Recently, Hulu has been experimenting with franchise offerings, such as the Predator prequel Prey and the reboot of Hellraiser in 2022. Nevertheless, Vacation Friends 2 marks the first occasion where they have released a sequel to one of their original films. Should this movie achieve a similar level of viewership as its predecessor, it is highly likely that the streaming platform will authorize another installment, establishing a genuine movie franchise.
