Naturally, when this didn’t happen, the film effectively circled the drain. That said, studio seemed to have lost a lot of its core audiences, and relied on them just showing up to watch. The studio tried hard to promote the film and enlisted some huge names, such as Alba and Brolin, and utilized cameos from figures such as Eva Green and Lady Gaga to gain publicity and entice audiences to see the film. One of the fundamental issues was obviously a lack of audience for the film, as the release massively underperformed to what was predicted at the box office. To understand how the hype died down, we need to look at some of the issues that were presented by the release of Sin City: A Dame to Kill. The material could have made for an interesting addition, but the hype simply was not there. Miller had some more unused source material in Family Values and Booze, Broads and Bullets, which followed similar neo-noir themes to the additions that came before them. Indeed, the source material from Miller still had more to offer, but the direction of the second film just did not seem to land with critics and general audiences. The story could have been continued, especially for die-hard fans. The unexpected poor performance of the sequel meant that plans for a third installmen,t which were already in discussion prior to A Dame to Kill's release, were quickly shelved.Īfter the poor performance of Sin City: A Dame to Kill, it’s no wonder that buzz for the franchise in general began to die down, and we saw less news articles and press releases relating to the future of the franchise. Sin City 2 did not perform as expected at the box office, too, and it received lackluster critical reviews, which were far less impressive than those of Sin City. Unfortunately, the film's performance underwhelmed and did not match up to either the critical or commercial success of the first movie. The film was set up to follow the success of its predecessor. We also meet Nancy Callahan (Jessica Alba), mad with grief and rage over Hartigan's death, vowing revenge.
Dwight McCarthy (Josh Brolin) puts his own struggles aside to help Ava Lord (Eva Green), a woman who consumes his life. The film follows a succession of short stories featuring different artists, following characters including Marv (Mickey Rourke), who struggles to remember an altercation with frat boys. The film was released in 2014 and was directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller. After the success of Sin City, creators were quick to want to capitalize on the success of the initial film and almost immediately commissioned the sequel, Sin City: A Dame to Kill.
