At that time, the investment of $654.38+06 million in Dumb and Agua not only won the domestic box office of $654.38+02.7 million in the United States, but also the total global box office revenue reached an astonishing 246 million, and the profit exceeded 654.38+05 times of its own investment. The great success of the box office has also opened up a golden road for Jim Carrey's comedy career.

As early as 1998, screenwriters matt stone and Trey Parker who adapted South Park began to write this prequel. However, after a long period of brewing, the two men finally willingly returned the reward of150,000 US dollars to the new line and quit.

There is a saying in the industry that if the follow-up works of a film cannot be produced within 2-4 years after the release of the previous film, then it is best not to shoot; In addition, if the follow-up works can't invite at least one main actor of the original film to participate in the filming of the sequel, then it's best not to shoot. Unfortunately, these two points are explained in this film. Although this kind of "cursed" movies are not without successful precedents, they are more "bloody" lessons.

However, making sequels or prequels to blockbusters has become the favorite of Hollywood production companies. It is common for people to make sequels to super blockbusters, and even comedies frequently make sequels: The Boss Stand Away 2, France and America 2, and the popular youth comedy American Pie even got the third episode. The film When A Dai Meets Agua has invested more than 30 million dollars, nearly twice the previous investment. But it is doomed to be an "impossible task" to achieve the brilliant box office of the previous 1 episode. I really don't understand what the filmmakers are doing.
