Could Vacation Friends 2 start a movie series?
The existence of Vacation Friends 2 is a little surprising in the first place. Aside from the fact that the producers were able to assemble the cast so quickly, the original film wasn’t exactly well-received in 2021. It received a moderately poor rating on Rotten Tomatoes with 57% and an even lower score (52%) from the public.
However, the film must still have attracted a relatively large audience. While Hulu hasn’t officially shared viewing figures for “Friends on Vacation,” Nielsen reports that it debuted below “Cruella and He’s All That” with 2.75 million views. Obviously, this is even bigger than the debut of Hulu’s hit erotic thriller starring Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas Deep Water next year.
Hulu has recently ventured into franchises, releasing the prequel Predator Prey and the Hellraiser reboot in 2022. However, Vacation Friends 2 is the first time they’ve released a sequel to one of their original films. If this film reaches the same level of audience as the original, it could very well green-light another installment and get a full-fledged film series.
