...it will fall short of $200m US domestic, but just barely. It's worldwide will still get it over $500m though so a sequel should not be in doubt based on the rumored production budget of $125m.
For fans desperately seeking a sequel, the economics of film and Hollywood at large are important; otherwise, why does everybody else feel the need to spout off numbers that mean absolutely nothing to anybody outside of the principal backers, the studio, and the producers?
For fans of the Great Detective across the pond, Series 2 has come to a conclusion. Not to worry though! According to the show runners, Holmes & Watson will return for a Series Three! It's only a matter of when their much in demand stars can be ripped away from Middle Earth.

"Of course there's going to be a third series - it was commissioned at the same time as the second. Gotcha!"
In other news, CBS continues the trend of importing and remaking hit British shows for an American audience.
Elementary updates Conan Doyle's stories to modern day New York City featuring the
recently cast Johnny Lee Miller in the role of Holmes. You may remember him from
Trainspotting and the first Mr. Angeline Jolie.
While nothing else has been mentioned regarding the show, this isn't the first time Holmes has been transplanted to the shores of the New World. No, he graced the city of San Francisco in a show called...
Elementary in the early nineties.
We'll have to wait and see just who has the better teevee show. In the meantime, get your fix on Series 1 & 2 over at
