The 2015 release of Vacation, the comedy film directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, left many fans of the franchise wondering if there would be a sequel. The movie, which is a continuation of the National Lampoon’s Vacation series, follows Rusty Griswold as he takes his own family on a disastrous road trip to Walley World.
The Plot:
In Vacation 2015, Ed Helms plays Rusty Griswold, who decides to take his wife Debbie (Christina Applegate) and their two sons James (Skyler Gisondo) and Kevin (Steele Stebbins) on a road trip to Walley World. The movie is filled with hilarious mishaps and misadventures as the family makes their way across the country. Along the way, they meet up with Rusty’s sister Audrey (Leslie Mann) and her husband Stone Crandall (Chris Hemsworth), who only add to the chaos.
The Reception:
While some fans of the original National Lampoon’s Vacation movies were disappointed in the 2015 version, it still managed to gross $104 million worldwide. Critics were also mixed in their opinions of the movie with some praising its humor while others found it lacking.
However, despite its financial success, there has been no official announcement regarding a sequel to Vacation 2015.
The Possibility of a Sequel:
Given that there has been no official statement from either Warner Bros or New Line Cinema regarding a sequel to Vacation 2015, it seems unlikely that one will be made anytime soon. However, that doesn’t mean fans should give up hope just yet.
With Hollywood’s tendency to make sequels and reboots of popular franchises, it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility that we could see another installment in the National Lampoon’s Vacation series. Additionally, with the success of recent comedies such as Game Night and Blockers, there’s still a market for R-rated comedy films.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, while there is no official news about a sequel to Vacation 2015, it’s not entirely impossible that we could see another installment in the future. Until then, fans can continue to enjoy the original National Lampoon’s Vacation movies and the 2015 version.
