We were first introduced to the cast of The Best Man back in 1999, with an all star cast and an intense story line. The gang all returned for a sequel, The Best Man Holiday, which is already a smashing success with $30.1 million earned at the box office its opening weekend. Those who have seen the movie are wondering if there’s a third movie in the works. The answer is: very likely.
According to Shadow & Act, director and writer Malcolm D. Lee is reportedly in talks with Universal about a third installment to the romantic comedy. Although there’s no word yet on whether the cast has been secured, the success of this film could definitely bring back Morris Chestnut, Taye Diggs, Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long, Terrence Howard, Harold Perrineau, Regina Hall, and Melissa De Sousa. Holiday had a $17 million budget, which was earned back and some. The actors may not have options on a threequel, though, so they could be looking at a bigger check for another movie.
The movie has garnered rave reviews from the audience and media alike, including some outrage on social media toward a mainstream news source undermining the success of Holiday based on it being targeted to African American women. USA Today compared the movie to The Butler, 12 Years a Slave and Fruitvale Station, initially pegging Holiday to be “race themed“. This has prompted many moviegoers to continue to support the movie, to show that its success is not a fluke.
Movies that are highly successful at the box office are more likely to have another installment, but it sounds like Lee is already writing the next story. We are excited to see what’s next for Lee and the cast.
BMWK, do you want to see a third installment of The Best Man?
Our couples group saw it together. 8 couple’s strong and everyone enjoyed themselves. Luck for us I brought the tickets early in the week and there was still a line an hour early for sitting. We are definitely excited for a three installment. Great job…..
Yes please do…this movie can definitely be apart of a trilogy….oh and Bring Gabrielle Union on in for the third one…i dont know want to reveal the movie but there is a space for her now.
Let’s get someone who has yet to grace the Big Screen.I really would like to Tahiry Jose from Love and Hip Hop New York play in the 3rd one.I think she will mesh and gel very well with all the other stars.
Really, Tahiry out of all actresses?
The Best Man 3 should cast Zoe Saldana or Halle Berry or I can see Kelly Rowland being a good match for Morris Chestnut.
This movie was excellent, I saw it two days in a row!! It hit home for me… YES YES YES do #3

I would love to see a part three. We have to continue to produce positive films about African American men and women. Funny how we cant seem to win. If its a historical film critics say “oh no not another slave film” if its a modern day film critics say “its a race theme”. Cant win for losing. Keep making movies people and that all that matters.
Loved this movie for the essence of a God centered marriage, strong black families, real friends, forgiveness, male friendships, strong black men who were emotionally available, rising above situations & more!!! BM #3 is a must!!!! Love, Love, Loved It!!!!
I loved this movie! Can’t believe how beautiful and fulfilling the storyline was! Would love to see the storyline for a part three. If suggestions are being taken I would love to see Jill Scott Tahija P. Henson, worked into the cast.
Sleeping Dogs Game Review At first this game puzzled me because
I thought it was set in America. A lot of people are speaking in American accents.
But it turns out Hong Kong is it’s actual setting (there’s
even a British guy in there as well.) Spotting
the genuine Asian person is the challenge. Anyway that doesn’t really matter,
my job is to give you a game reviews light sprinkle of words and wisdom as to whether or not you should buy the
game, so we shall begin. Straight away it gives signs of being heavily story orientated which is a good thing in my opinion! I like the story, I’m
not going to give a big break down of the whole thing because that’s what makes Game Reviews long and I don’t want to spoil things for you.
But, the story gets a thumbs up from me. I’ll talk about the things which I like about Sleeping Dogs, first
off there is a pretty nifty game mechanic where you have 2 different experience systems.
You gain experience as a cop and as a triad
(saying cops and triads shouldn’t be a spoiler,
you should be aware of this.) So you gain experience
as a cop by completing undercover cop cases and not killing innocents and wrecking the place.
You level up as a triad by beating down bad guys and the usual gang
related things. I really like the combat though, the fist-fighting seems quite
fluid and I actually get beaten a lot of the time which to me, shows
that the combat is a challenge (which not a lot of
games are these days.) The developers have done well to keep weapons out of your hands as much
as possible. So you do have to fight with your fists most of the time, it
makes a refreshing change from every man and his dog packing heat in other
games. Things I don’t like so much about the game include – the graphics,
they’re OK but that’s as good as they get. Also some of the driving controls are very unrealistic.
I get that they wanted to put some extreme stuff in there, like
hijacking cars by jumping out of one and into the other,
fine. But ramming other cars is just plain bad, there’s a button to ram car’s and when you press the
button you seem to get a boost of speed in the direction of the car you want to ram.
I mean ANY direction, even if it’s parallel
to your car, it’s bad design in my opinion. Finally the only other gripe I have is the fact that every female you meet in Sleeping Dogs
wants to be intimate with you as soon as they meet you.
Now I’ve heard a few things about Hong Kong but this is just starting to look like Bangkok.
Video Game Review Conclusion Overall I think its a good game,
you’ll get a lot of hours of game play for your money
and it’s very entertaining with a good story.
