Dimension Films is apparently so pleased with a $10 mil.-plus opening weekend for its low-budget 3D horror film “Piranha 3D” that it is going back in the water already with “Piranha 3D: The Sequel.”
“We are thrilled that audiences are not just loving ‘Piranha 3D” but cheering for it, said producer Mark Canton. “And it’s fantastic that so many critics are really getting the movie and recommending it. We can’t wait to get to work on the sequel.”
“Piranha 3D” had rating of 80-82% favorable reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.com throughout it’s opening weekend. After a tongue-in-cheek Oscar campaign video posted last week, Academy Award nominee and “Piranha 3D” heroine Elisabeth Shue will debut a brand new video in the coming days on FunnyOrDie.com.
