Guy Ritchie's Operation Fortune sets up a sequel, but several of Lionsgate's marketing setbacks might keep Operation Fortune 2 from ever happening.
Operation Fortune hints at a sequel at the end of the movie, as it sets up another mission that involves Orson Fortune and Sarah Fidel - but Operation Fortune 2 might never happen. The 2023 release is another action crime caper from the mind of writer/director Guy Ritchie, who has made a name for himself by making movies full of ridiculous quips and comedy violence.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In the wrong hands, Operation Fortune's Handle would destroy the financial market, but Fortune and his gang of spies successfully retrieve it and complete the mission. While the movie is a fun popcorn flick despite its "rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it seems Operation Fortune is a day at the office that Lionsgate producers would rather forget.
Why Lionsgate May Have Ruined Operation Fortune 2 As box office performances mostly dictate what movies get sequels and what don't, it's unlikely that Operation Fortune 2 will ever happen. Unlike most of Ritchie's other movies, which tend to be huge hits, Operation Fortune hasn't been all that successful. The movie was released in certain European countries two months before its domestic release, and it only made $30 million . Its opening weekend in the U.S.
The Operation Fortune movie marketing was arguably its biggest issue, as the movie has been plagued ever since the marketing rollout in late 2021. The movie originally had a January 2021 release date scheduled, but it was delayed due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, as many of the henchmen in Operation Fortune are Ukrainian.
However, underperforming movies have found their audiences on streaming. As Operation Fortune will be on Amazon Prime Video in the UK, if it's a hit on the platform, Lionsgate could potentially consider a sequel. And while the studio also has the problem of getting the cast back together, as Operation Fortune is full of A-list movie stars, that could be the easiest part of getting a sequel into development.
