It gradually turned into an unexpected franchise.
The first movie grossed over $450,000,000 worldwide theatrically. Steven and company churned out two more star-packed installments in 2004 and 2007 respectively. The franchise made a big return in 2018 with “Oceans 8″. It was a female-centric spin-off led by Sandra Bullock, Helena Bonham Carter and Rihanna. The title has evolved into a famous brand by now.
The film does not officially have the go-ahead but there is a chance that it is going into production in the spring of 2023.
