Why didn't they make The Meteor Man 2 movie?
Why didn't this classic super hero movie get a sequel?
shareWhy didn't this classic super hero movie get a sequel?
shareWell, I'm guessing this film went under the radar because it was a black a film, and it probably didn't have a large box office gross.

The Meteor Man (1993) โ Budget, $30 million. Box office, $8,023,147. Compare this to director Robert Townsend's directorial debut, Hollywood Shuffle, which was made on a $700K budget and pulled in nearly $6 million, a huge success in terms of profit.
Because Hollywood doesn't produce sequels to box office flops. Which this was.
shareSimply put, it didn't make enough money but part of the reason for that is cause Hollywood is racist.
This movie was centered around a black neighborhood with a black superhero and Hollywood seems to think movies like this aren't worthy of promoting or producing, especially when they are positive like Meteor Man. Which pretty much set them up for failure. Lack of promotion means very few people will see it in the theaters cause very few people will know about it, while most movies involving predominantly white cast or more importantly a white hero get the $hit promoted out of them. While lack of producing means most white audiences will never really accept or give a chance to movies with black leads cause of the lack of them.

With the movie ending by having Meteor Man lose all his superpowers for good- I think it was rather obvious a sequel was not actually planned.
shareMeteor Man was a box office flop. It had a lot of black celebrities but it wasn't very good. Just my opinion.
