The franchise was kick-started with the 1998 film Rush Hour, directed by Brett Ratner. It received positive reviews from critics and went on to become a commercial success. Its success resulted in two more sequels with Jackie and Chris in the lead. People enjoyed the chemistry and performance of the lead actors.
Rush Hour 4 is reportedly happening after almost two decades!
According to media reports, including The Express, US President Donald Trump has been urging businessman Larry Ellison and his son, David Ellison of Paramount-Skydance, to revive the fun, anti-woke action comedies of the 80s and 90s. Trump especially wants them to revive the Rush Hour franchise with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, as directed by Bret Ratner. The last film, Rush Hour 3, was released around 18 years ago. Ratner only directed Amazon MGM’s upcoming Melania Trump documentary, as he was cancelled owing to the sexual harassment cases against him. However, it seems Brett Ratner is associated with Rush Hour 4.
Rush Hour 4 will push the franchise past the $1 billion global milestone!
According to Box Office Mojo’s report, the cumulative total of the three Rush Hour movies is $850.09~$850.1 million worldwide. It is a popular franchise, and earning around $150 million worldwide will be an easy task for the potential Rush Hour 4.
