Most filmmakers would truncate an ongoing film series as a result of bad critical reviews but the guys behind GI Joe could not care less about critical reception. The two GI Joe movies already released have been critically panned, however, the men behind turning the Hasbro-made action figures into films are not fazed but focused on growing the franchise to include more films. With the release of the first two GI Joe movies in 2009 and 2013 respectively, GI Joe 3 has long been announced to be in development. However, to be fair, it has not been all bad for the GI Joe movies as it has fared better at the box office. Both films managed to make about double their production budgets. Both made on a combined budget of $305 million, they have both grossed a combined $678 million at the global box office. Here are all the facts we know about the next installment in the franchise.
