In 2016, the action comedy “The Nice Guys,” featuring Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe, underperformed at the box office, but it gained critical acclaim and has since become a cult favorite. Fans have been demanding a sequel for years, yet the current state of Hollywood makes a follow-up highly improbable. However, history shows that strong Blu-ray sales can lead to sequels, like Clerks III, so perhaps a significant number of 4K Blu-ray purchases of “The Nice Guys” might just be enough to secure a second installment—but it’s likely going to require quite a few sales.
In simpler terms, Lionsgate essentially told Kevin Smith something along the lines of “Go ahead and create more of this Jay and Silent Bob content, provided it’s within a certain budget. If you can make more than you spend, that’s called making a profit.” This idea of working with smaller budgets is something that producer Ken Kao thinks could be crucial for eventually releasing a sequel to “The Nice Guys.

Interestingly, producer Joel Silver recently contacted a mutual friend of mine and mentioned “The Nice Guys” in conversation last week, which led us to discuss the possibility of its return. He asked, “What could potentially bring about another ‘The Nice Guys’?” According to Kao, speaking with Screen Rant, the key seems to be producing it on a budget, as this remains a constant challenge for both producers and filmmakers today.
He went on to say, “It’s clear that we need to create movies in a way that is both sustainable and accountable. We can no longer rely on films that don’t perform well at the box office, and it seems like the streaming platforms are becoming more selective with their funding. Therefore, our goal as producers should be to find a method within this industry to make movies that compensate those involved, while also maintaining a controlled production process. In doing so, we can ensure that those releasing the films continue to see value in distributing them. I believe this is the mission, this is the test we must pass.
If you’re a fan of the movie “The Nice Guys” and have a Blu-ray player, you can pre-order the upcoming 4K Blu-ray release on Amazon for delivery on February 11th. Who knows, maybe a sequel could be in the works! Also, unlike the first time, “The Nice Guys 2” likely won’t compete with an “Angry Birds” film in theaters.
