The Maze Runner series has released its third film, Maze Runner: The Death Cure, and the movie is already a hit. The film premiered on January 26 and topped the box office for its opening frame, finally unseating Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle after that film spent three straight weekends in the number one slot. But even though The Death Cure is meant to serve as the final film in the Maze Runner series, the film's success out of the gate is leading some fans to speculate that the franchise could go on. So, or is this it for the Gladers? Constitution of india pdf download. Currently, there are no known plans to continue the franchise with a fourth movie. The trailers for The Death Cure have teased the film as 'one last ride,' while the movie's official website states: 'In the, Thomas leads his group of escaped Gladers on their final and most dangerous mission yet.' Ever since the first Maze Runner movie premiered in 2014, that's basically all Dylan O'Brien's character has done. (It's in the name, after all.) But Maze Runner: The Death Cure, the latest. The Maze Runner Set in a post-apocalyptic world, young Thomas is deposited in a community of boys after his memory is erased, soon learning they’re all trapped in a maze that will require him to join forces with fellow “runners” for a shot at escape.

That type of language doesn't leave much wiggle room for the series to continue, and The Death Cure is indeed based on the final book of the same name in the original Maze Runner trilogy of novels. However, there was a time when a plan for a fourth film was almost expected. 20th Century Fox on YouTube For a short while in Hollywood, there was a trend to split the final installment of a. This fad was kicked off when the producers behind one of the most successful series ever, Harry Potter, opted to split the final book in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, into two separate films in 2010 and 2011. This was immediately followed by the conclusion to the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn, which saw part one released in 2011 and part two hit theaters in 2012. Then there was The Hunger Games, with final installment Mockingjay: Part One being released in 2014 and Mockingjay: Part Two premiering the following year. By the time the Hunger Games was reaching its conclusion, a backlash against the trend was beginning to form, with fans complaining that a 'part one' of a climactic film barely counts as a film at all, since it purposely ends without a real climax. The backlash has been observed in recent movies backing out of the trend, like superhero films Avengers: Infinity War and Justice League, which were both originally going to be two-part films when they were first announced in 2014, but ultimately reduced themselves to solo movies. The most glaring example of split-movie fatigue can be seen in the final novel of the Divergent series, Allegiant, which was to be split into two films: Allegiant in 2016 and Ascendent in 2017. But by 2016, audiences had already tired of the split-movie trend and Allegiant bombed at the box office, leading to the cancelation of Ascendent., likely with a different cast, leaving fans without a proper conclusion to the franchise. When plans were first being formed for The Death Cure back in 2014, the split-movie trend had already reached its peak popularity, and Maze Runner director Wes Ball knew early on that he did not want to. 'I think three is the number; beginning, middle, end, that's it. I think there's something off about four. For me, if I have any say in it, there's three movies basically,' Ball told Digital Spy at the time. 'We're not going to [split a book in two], no way. I think three movies is the right number, Star Wars!' The series' screenwriter, T.S. Nowlin, also stands firm against continuing the franchise, recently telling Thrillist's Sean Fitz-Gerald, 'We've actually talked about how much It's rare to do something clean, that just has a beginning, a middle, and an end. I really like the way this movie wraps things up and ends. It's nice to let the movies kind of exhale.' So it looks like The Death Cure really is it for the Maze Runner franchise. Unless, of course, someone eventually decides to. ‘Maze Runner: The Death Cure’ The Box Office: Maze Runner: The Death Cure begins its international rollout tomorrow in South Korea, after which it will eventually make its way to US theaters on Jan 26. The Wes Ball-directed sci-fi actioner is the third and final chapter in what was supposed to be a quickie three-part YA fantasy franchise based on James Dashner’s novels. Alas, Dylan O’Brien was seriously injured on the said of this picture, and his recovery caused the film to be pushed to what is now just over two years after Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials. Maze Runner 1 Full MovieIt says something about the speed of entertainment these days that a 2.25-year wait between installments for a moderately-budgeted genre franchise is considered ungainly. Sure some old-school franchises, like Jurassic World or Mission: Impossible, are still dropping an installment every 3-4 years. But Fast and Furious now offers a movie every two years, the MCU has three movies per year (with, yes, the specific franchises going 2-4 between installments) and the YA sub-genre ( Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Twilight, Divergent) got us used to one movie every year. Even if absence hasn’t made the heart grow fonder, this is the final episode in a self-contained story. So there isn’t much at stake beyond dollars and sense for investors and the financial legacy of the series. The first Maze Runner had a leggy (ha!) run in September of 2014, opening with $32 million and ending with $103m domestic and $348m on a $34m budget. The Scorch Trials, a longer, more expense and frankly inferior sequel, opened a year later with $30m and ended its run with $81m domestic and $312m worldwide on a $61m budget. I don’t have a production budget for The Death Cure, but this is not a cheap-looking motion picture. Come what may, at least it got to finish its story, unlike Divergent or Chronicles of Narnia. And kudos for not splitting the last book into two movies. Maze Runner SeriesThe Review: As a whole, the three-part Maze Runner series is a fine example of a known sub-genre (the YA dystopian fantasy) dabbling in explicit genre appropriation. The first (and mostly self-contained) Maze Runner was a bit of a monster movie/haunted house hybrid, while the inferior and overly world build-y Scorch Trials was a full-on zombie adventure. The Death Cure, which is heavy on character and light on mythology, is a hard action picture, filled with relentless chases, brutal smackdowns and more than a few breathless stunt sequences. Considering how much I didn’t care for the second film, I was beyond surprised to see how much I enjoyed this third and final chapter. After a curtain-raiser chase set six months after Scorch Trials’ cliffhanger conclusion, whereby our heroes are reintroduced rescuing kids destined for “the maze,” we get a bit of “for those who don’t remember the last two films all that well” exposition and some character reestablishment. This info dump feels surprisingly organic, perhaps since it’s less about educating newbies and more about just jogging the memory of casual fans. Nonetheless, if you have the time, I would recommend rewatching the first two films. Maze Runner 4 Movie TrailerI was never lost, but I do wish I had bothered to at least skim a summary of the plot-heavy second movie. But the movie works on its own terms. Maze Runner 4 Movie The Kill OrderAfter we re-meet the good guys (Dylan O’Brien, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Rosa Salazar, Giancarlo Esposito and Barry Pepper), the bad guys (Patricia Clarkson and Aidan Gillen) and the in-betweens (Kaya Scodelario’s sympathetic turncoat), our core heroes reembark on a quest into a protected city to free a captured colleague (Ki Hong Lee). And that’s it. What makes this picture so refreshing is that, for most of its 140-minute running time, it’s just about sneaking into the enemy territory to rescue a friend from peril. They aren’t trying to save the world or fulfill a destiny or overthrow a tyrannical regime. They just want to get what’s there’s and get out alive.
