A mixed reception killed Miss Peregrine’s future.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children could have become a full-fledged franchise, but a second movie never happened. Directed by Tim Burton, the fantasy film adapted the eponymous best-selling book by Ransom Riggs, which is the first in a series. The novel gained attention before it was published, with studios grabbing screen rights early in its production.
The film did fairly well at the box office, grossing almost $300 million with only a $110 million budget . However, it received mixed reviews. In true Tim Burton fashion, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children pulled out all the stops visually and thematically, captivating audiences with its dramatic effects. However, those effects weren't enough to compensate for the lackluster plot.
Why Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children Didn't Do Well Enough To Get A Sequel Despite nearly doubling its production cost in ticket sales, Miss Peregrine's didn't quite make it by Hollywood standards. It made $28.9 million at the box office during its opening weekend, and though that was above projection, it was a mediocre start given its extensive budget. There were high expectations for the film, but as its Rotten Tomatoes score of 64% demonstrates, it fell short of them.
While Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children didn't quite make the cut for franchise success, it was still a loved film among some fans of the book. The project's mediocre reception was nothing new for Burton, but it held its own against other additions to his filmmaking portfolio. While it's unlikely Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children 2 will ever happen, fans can continue the series in novel format, as Ransom Riggs has written eight books set in this world.
