There will be no "Monsters vs. Aliens 2" being brought to the big screen. Los Angeles Times recently reported that DreamWorks Animation has disclosed that the studio won't move forward with the idea of developing a sequel to 2009's "Monsters vs. Aliens" given that the movie underperformed in some key international markets.
According to LA Times, DreamWork's Chief Executive Jeffrey Katzenberg told analysts of the decision in a conference call. "I'd like to tell you there's a perfectly rational, clear and easy answer as to why not, but there isn't," he said. "There was enough of a consensus from our distribution and marketing folks in certain parts of the world that we would be pushing a boulder up a hill."
"Monsters vs. Alien" tells the story of alien invasion on Earth and follows Susan Murphy, a girl whose life is changed forever after she is being hit by a meteor. Growing to be 49-feet-11-inches tall and deemed as monster, she is captured and being confined with other monsters. But when a mysterious alien robot storms the Earth, Susan and the others become the government's last option on saving the world.
Released in March 27, the animation movie which features the voice of Reese Witherspoon took over the box office's #1 from "Knowing" by collecting $59.3 million in its opening weekend. It has since pulled in as much as $198.4 million from the North American markets and around $181.5 million from the overseas sales, bringing the total tally to $379.9 million.

What the hell are dreamworks thinking? I was looking forward to possibly seeing a Monsters VS aliens sequel in the future and now their definatley not doing it! BLOODY IDIOTS!
So even though it grossed 379.9 Million dollars the people at Dreamworks still think making another one would be a bad idea? In what fucking world is 379.9 Million dollars not enough money to show its worth doing? lol
That sux. Hopefully, they realize people want it and make one. I really wanted to see Dr. Cockroach confess his true feelings to Susan, and a new villain. Or maybe Gallaxhar again! Couldn't they just make a sequel MVA and stop the Shreks? Three was enough! This is a dreamworks movie that deserves a sequel~
that sucks. MVA was amazing.
We have been in the grip of one of the worst recessions in history so how can they judge its performance as tepid. Bad call this has been one of the best & funniest movies dreamworks has ever released, hope they see sense in the future. :0((
MVA 2 please and Tv series too.
OH COME ON!!!! this was one of my fav movies of all time, they can't just give out on the people X(
o come on you people suck!!! just make the second one please!! the first is my favorite movie ever
Come on! Give us a break?! Everyone knows how the first one came along?! GO with the show finish it, produce it, don't hate---> APPRECIATE!
That sucks, this movie is AMAZING, The story is great, and the animation is beyond anything Pixar has done. My son loves it more then any other movie we have. They kind of left it up in the air after the President hit the nuke button though, funny.
Monsters vs Aliens is better then all Dreamworks movies i think. probably best that they don't ruin it like they did with Shrek

It's never about the art anymore. Don't get me wrong, I understand their position and they gotta make money, but this was one of the deluge of 3D animated films I actually enjoyed. It's a damn shame.
No sequel? crap. I really liked this movie and I was really looking forward to a sequel. Oh well, at least I got the DVD to remember it by. GO monsters!
Well, that sucks. :-(
