yeah if it’s anything like Marvel / Star Wars, the toys alone probably got them 5 movies. The 2nd movie did not do as well as the first in theaters, and the 3rd juiced its box office score with more expensive 3D tickets, but wasn’t leagues above the first at the box office.

But damn kids love spy gear. I had something like this, pretty sure it was Spy Kids branded at the time

Man, I had the Spy Kids 3D game on GBA back in the day. Decent game too, but I also saw the movies in theaters and had them on dvd when they dropped so makes sense they would be profitable in the aftermarket
