Only one Scorpion King?

Only one Scorpion King?
I just finished watching the DVD Scorpion King starring the "Rock", and I was supprised that I actually liked it and thought it was really good. I could have sworn that they made another Scorpion King and I was going to buy that DVD also, but I can't find it for sale, or that there actually was a second Scorpion King made. Does anyone know if there is another S.K. DVD?

Sorry dude, but you must be confusing a dream with reality. There's only been one Scorpion King movie made. Although it was originally talked about another and even a true Mummy 3, but nothing on that franchise has surfaced recently.
In the meantime, be sure to pre-order Starship Troopers 2.

Given that The Scorpion King failed to make a profit counting worldwide box office, I am not surprised that no sequel followed. As far as another Mummy sequel, I really don't know where else they could take that series. It seems played out.

Where did you see that? It was +$30 million alone in the US.
But, according to Box Office Mojo, it made 90 mil in America, and 73 overseas. That's not bad, but the movie cost 95 (with marketing), so it didn't really make a profit. (the basic rule of thumb is you have to gross 1.5 times the cost in order to break even, but that's on the rise and the more expensive a movie is, the closer it comes to 2.)

Uh, 30 mil wouldn't be remotely profitable. 30 mil wouldn't have covered the marketing.

i am sure it made money, definitly not alot, but there have been movies that havent made money that they have done a sequal too. I would like to see another one made (Michael Bay could direct it, would be awsome)

When I said +30, I meant it grossed 90 over the 60 costs in the US (not counting marketing). You said it failed to make a profit and that is incorrect any way you look at it.
