Ocean’s 9 Not Happening Yet Makes No Sense After Ocean’s 8’s $297M Success

Ocean’s 8‘s $297 million success makes it hard not to wonder what happened to Ocean’s 9 — here is the answer. Most successful movies and television shows in Hollywood take the franchise route, opening the floodgates of diverse narrative avenues. When Ocean’s 14 did not materialize for several behind-the-scenes reasons, Ocean’s 8 took the stage with its star-studded female cast. Like its parent movie series, Ocean’s 8 presented a meticulously crafted heist thriller that included well-timed twists and enthralling character beats. However, despite having all the right ingredients and a $297 million box office to prove its potential, Ocean’s 8 never received a sequel.
