Ethan Hawke and Frank Grillo’s The Purge franchise has been for years entertained and amazed viewers with its action horror movies set in a dystopian world. From its unique storyline and concept to its blends of horror and suspenseful elements, there are numerous attributes of the franchise that have made it so famous and led to 5 successful movies and a TV show.
Yet, the $535 million franchise will be ending soon. As per the latest update, like many other film franchises (maybe except the Fast & Furious franchise), The Purge too will come to an end with its sixth and final installments. And ever since the announcement fans have been giving hilarious reactions to the news.
Frank Grillo’s The Purge Franchise Has Run Its Course
From its unique concept of every crime being legal for 12 hours once a year to its provocative narrative based on societal commentary, The Purge franchise has become one of the most famous movies in the horror-thriller genre. Its blend of horror elements with themes like social divide and government corruption has contributed massively to the franchise’s popularity.
Yet the Ethan Hawke starrer franchise has run its course and its sixth movie will be its final one. In an interview with Screen Rant, Frank Grillo revealed how the script for the final installment is already done and will be based on his character, Leo Barnes.
“The script is done. It basically centers around Leo Barnes, my character. It would be the last of the last of the last, it’s like the guy who keeps retiring. James DeMonaco is going to direct it, if it happens, and it’s a matter of money. It’s a matter of how big they want the movie to be, how much money they want to spend on the movie, considering they’ve done a lot in this franchise. But it’s a great script.”
The $535 million franchise (via The Numbers), has so far received mixed reactions and fans reckon that the subsequent movies have not been as good as the first movie. So while loyal fans of the franchise will be disappointed to say goodbye to it, it would be better for The Purge franchise to go out while it still has some fuel left.
Fans’ Hilarious Reaction To The Purge Franchise Ending
The news of The Purge franchise coming out with a sixth installment was surprising since it was previously announced that the fifth film would be the last one (via Screen Rant). And so understandably the fans of the horror-movie genre have had some of the most hilarious reactions to the news of a sixth and final movie in the series.
If it was the final movie, it should be called The Purged.
