why on earth would the production company think people were interested


in a sequel? this movie has been an epic flop, at the time of writing it has not even made $23 million world wide on a budget of $26 million, in other words the studio has taken a huge loss by making this movie.

how could they be so dumb in the first place? the original Bad Santa was no blockbuster, but it was a minor hit making $76 million on a budget of $23 million, which is a minor hit in Hollywood terms. but that was 13 years ago, times have changed, comedy has changed, and what was once even vaguely popular is no longer. Movies like this just are not that successful anymore, and since the first one was never a blockbuster to begin with, what in God's name possessed the studio into thinking this sequel was something the public wanted?? seriously? the only people they have to blame for this movie flopping is themselves, for not doing enough research into what is now popular and seeing that there is no market for this!

I agree. If you notice the pattern lately... Hollyweird is getting a little desperate. They're digging deep into their archives, and looking for movies that were successful in the box office, and also for movies that were a cult favorite. As for Bad Santa 2... this movie should of been released back in 2007 or 2008. Maybe, it would of been a little more successful than it was in 2016.

You are talking out of your backside. So 13 years later you think Bad Santa is no longer funny? Don't talk garbage, its still funny, and timeless, as its a Christmas movie, you know?

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation is still funny. Planes Trains and Automobiles is still funny, and both are way older than 13 years.

Nonsense talk from you.

Oh and your numbers are plucked out of thin air. More garbage.

You're not just expressing your view you're projecting it. Nobody is agreeing with your opinion on the original movie. The original is rated 7.1 on here...pretty good for a Christmas comedy.

The Movie Industry is in the business of selling tickets, not entertaining people. If they can get suckers to buy, then sequel 1..2.5..4...it is.

Since the first movie was only a minor hit at best and this one was a complete flop
