Film Performance and Sequel Speculation
Directed by Shane Black, The Nice Guys is set in 1977 Los Angeles and follows two mismatched private investigators. Despite earning 91% on Rotten Tomatoes from critics and 79% from audiences, its box office earnings of $71 million on a $50 million budget were underwhelming.
Gosling shared with ComicBook.com that The Nice Guys had a disappointing opening weekend, grossing $11.2 million domestically, overshadowed by Angry Birds. This weak start is a significant factor in the unlikelihood of a sequel, despite it having potential for further adventures or even a TV spin-off as hinted by director Black.
Current Endeavors and Future Prospects
Despite the setback with The Nice Guys, Gosling has continued to find success in Hollywood. Post-2016, he featured in notable films like La La Land, Blade Runner 2049, and Barbie. Upcoming, he stars in The Fall Guy, anticipated to perform well. This ongoing success underscores that while The Nice Guys may not see a continuation, Gosling’s career thrives with diverse roles.
Conclusion
Despite the initial success and critical acclaim of Ryan Gosling’s comedy, “The Nice Guys,” with a remarkable 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, its sequel faces disappointment and uncertainty. While fans may have hoped for a continuation of the witty humor and chemistry between Gosling and co-star Russell Crowe, recent updates suggest that a sequel is unlikely to materialize. The sequel’s potential demise serves as a reminder that even well-received films may not always translate into successful follow-ups. However, Gosling’s diverse career and ability to tackle various genres ensure that audiences can anticipate his future projects with eagerness, even if “The Nice Guys 2” remains a distant possibility. As the movie industry continues to evolve, Gosling’s talent and versatility will undoubtedly secure his status as a prominent figure in Hollywood
