Sources tell THR that McQuarrie’s adaptation of the novel One Shot must do “exceptional business in key Asian territories” in order to justify moving forward with another Jack Reacher film. Against a reported budget of $60 million (not counting marketing), the pic’s worldwide total now stands at $153 million. Apparently Paramount says the film must make $250 million worldwide in order to warrant a follow-up, which means the actioner has a ways to go when it opens in the Asian territories.
Cruise has always been a draw in Asian markets and the film stands to make some serious coin when it hits theaters in Japan, China, and Korea, but whether it can manage $100 million or so remains to be seen. If the film does hit the magic number, THR cautions that the studio would still need to negotiate a deal with Cruise that would keep the sequel’s budget at about the same number as the first film.
