Back in July, DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeff Katzenberg revealed that he would love to make a sequel to "Monsters vs Aliens," but he was not sure if it would bring in good enough earnings in international territories. "This is the first movie we've had that's right on the bubble," he explained.
Well, it's not on th bubble anymore. Katzenberg has just confirmed that the sequel will not happen. "I'd like to tell you there's a perfectly rational, clear and easy answer as to why not, but there isn't," he said. "There was enough of a consensus from our distribution and marketing folks in certain parts of the world that we would be pushing a boulder up a hill."
"Monsters" has grossed $377 million worldwide at the box office, with $198 million coming domestically. Some territories performed well, while others were "very big misses," Katzenberg said, adding: "Domestically it has performed at a level that would surely qualify it as a sequel, and internationally it did not."
