15 Years Ago Today, This $150M Sci-Fi Adaptation Instantly Killed Its Franchise (& It’s Being Rebooted)

A good example of this is the movie I Am Number Four, which was adapted from the book of the same name by Pittacus Lore (a pen name for author James Frey). It came out in theaters on February 18, 2011, with the intention of launching a new science fiction film series. At the time, the second book in the series, The Power of Six, was scheduled to be released soon, and more movies were planned. Sadly, I Am Number Four only earned $149.9 million worldwide, despite costing $60 million to make, so any sequels were cancelled. Still, fans of the books haven’t completely given up hope.
