Video: Judd Apatow Talks Doing Sequels for 'Pineapple Express' and 'Superbad'

November 20, 2009 03:11:36

Stand-up comedian and film producer Judd Apatow sits down for a Q & A session with the Funny or Die Writer's Room live stream, during when he talks about the possibility of making sequels to two of his produced films, "Pineapple Express" and "Superbad". He says, while sequel of "Pineapple Express" is likely to be made, it's highly unlikely for a sequel to "Superbad" to be made because its star Seth Rogen and screenwriter Evan Goldberg don't want to ruin the original.

"I can't get [Rogen and Goldberg] to make the 'Superbad' sequel. I begged, but they don't want to ruin it. They think it's a gem of a movie and they don't want a crappy second," Judd muses. He goes on revealing, "There's a little talk about a 'Pineapple Express' sequel if that's your cup of tea ... your bowl of smoke. You probably have a better shot of seeing that [than any Superbad 2 or any other Apatow sequel]."

'Pineapple' Ran Out of Smoke for Box Office's Top, Fourth in a Row for 'Dark Knight'

August 11, 2008 09:08:15

All bets are off. Despite its stunning start on Wednesday, August 6, "Pineapple Express" doesn't really have what it takes to dethrone "The Dark Knight" from its crowning seat at the North American weekend box office. Having pushed "Dark Knight" from its #1 position when it debuted, the stoner flick from Seth Rogen should settle for the second place.

With $23.2 million, "Pineapple" does not only gross less than the superhero flick, but also could not outdo Rogen's other comedy film "Knocked Up" which earned $30.7 million over the three-days weekend in 2007. Still, the David Gordon Green-directed movie has covered up its reported $27 million production budget from its five days of screening collecting in total $41.3 million.

Despite the fact that "The Dark Knight" has dominated the record-breaking story with its continuous success, stoner flick "Pineapple Express" has created a history of its own. The David Gordon Green's comedy has landed itself atop of the list of the best-ever Wednesday opening at the domestic box office in August.

Debuted in the theaters on Wednesday, August 6, the Seth Rogen and James Franco-starring movie has grossed as much as $12.1 million on the particular day only. By that it means that "Express" has overtaken the previous record held by "Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement" set in 2004 with $8.9 million.
