There has been a lot of speculation about whether there will be another National Lampoon’s Vacation movie. Fans of the original movie franchise are eager to know if they can expect to see more adventures with the Griswold family. In this article, we will take a closer look at the history and prospects of the National Lampoon’s Vacation movie series.
The Original National Lampoon’s Vacation Movie
The first National Lampoon’s Vacation movie was released in 1983. It starred Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold, a bumbling family man who takes his wife and kids on a cross-country road trip to an amusement park called Wally World. The film was a huge success, grossing over $61 million at the box office.
The Sequels
The success of the original National Lampoon’s Vacation movie led to several sequels. The first sequel, National Lampoon’s European Vacation, was released in 1985. It followed the Griswold family as they travelled through Europe on a game show prize trip.
In 1989, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation was released. This time, the Griswold family stayed home for the holidays and hilarity ensued as Clark tried to create the perfect Christmas for his family.
In 1997, Vegas Vacation was released. In this installment, Clark takes his family to Las Vegas for some fun and gambling.
The Reboot
In 2015, a reboot of National Lampoon’s Vacation was released. The film starred Ed Helms as Rusty Griswold (Clark’s son) who takes his own family on a road trip to Wally World.
While the reboot received mixed reviews from critics and fans alike, it did not perform well at the box office. As a result, there has been little talk of another installment in the franchise.
Will There Be Another National Lampoon’s Vacation Movie?
At this time, there are no confirmed plans for another National Lampoon’s Vacation movie. However, it is worth noting that the franchise has a dedicated fan base and there is always a possibility that another movie could be made.
In 2018, it was reported that Warner Bros. was developing a National Lampoon’s Vacation television series. The series would reportedly follow the misadventures of the Griswold family as they travel to different destinations each season. However, there have been no updates on the project since then.
Conclusion
While there is no definitive answer on whether there will be another National Lampoon’s Vacation movie, fans of the franchise can continue to enjoy the original films and hope for more adventures with the Griswold family in the future.
