The iconic comedy franchise, which began with the 2010 cult favorite about four friends who accidentally travel back to 1986 through a magical hot tub, could be preparing for a long-awaited comeback.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Craig Robinson says Hot Tub Time Machine 3 is \u2018ready to go\u2019<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s been over 10 years since Hot Tub Time Machine 2 hit theaters, but according to franchise star Craig Robinson, the third movie might be closer than fans think. While promoting his upcoming Netflix film In Your Dreams, Robinson shared a hopeful update on the long-delayed sequel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt\u2019s so ready to go, but that\u2019s one of those things that have to, you know, Divine Order has to take place, or something,\u201d Robinson told <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbr.com\/hot-tub-time-machine-3-update-craig-robinson-exclusive\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:CBR;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">CBR<\/a>. The actor revealed that while the cast remains busy, something beyond scheduling seems to be holding the project back. \u201cHot Tub Time Machine 2 just kind of happened, you know, called a meeting, and then next thing we were on our way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The first Hot Tub Time Machine became a modest hit in 2010, earning around $65 million on a $36 million budget and later building a cult following through home video sales. The success prompted a quick turnaround for the sequel, released in 2015. However, Hot Tub Time Machine 2 fell short both critically and commercially, making reportedly only $12.3 million domestically, which was less than the first film\u2019s opening weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That box office failure likely explains the long pause before any talk of a third film. Still, the creative team behind the franchise hasn\u2019t given up hope. Back in 2022, Robinson told <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/interviews\/craig-robinson-says-theres-a-mind-blowing-idea-for-hot-tub-time-machine-3-but-will-it-happen\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:CinemaBlend;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">CinemaBlend<\/a> that writer Josh Heald had \u201can idea for part three that is (does \u2018mind blown\u2019 movement) so I would like to see that happen.\u201d In 2024, Heald told <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.syfy.com\/syfy-wire\/hot-tub-time-machine-screenwriters-josh-heald-sean-anders-retrospective\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Syfy;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Syfy<\/a> that the potential third installment would be \u201ca bigger movie\u201d exploring the concept of the multiverse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While there\u2019s no official confirmation on Hot Tub Time Machine 3, until then, fans can catch Craig Robinson in Netflix\u2019s animated adventure In Your Dreams, where he voices Baloney Tony. It releases on the streaming platform on November 14.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/movies\/news\/2054885-hot-tub-time-machine-3-update-ready-to-go\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Hot Tub Time Machine Star Gives Hopeful Update on 3rd Movie;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Hot Tub Time Machine Star Gives Hopeful Update on 3rd Movie<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:ComingSoon.net - Movie Trailers, TV &amp; Streaming News, and More;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">ComingSoon.net &#8211; Movie Trailers, TV &amp; Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After nearly a decade of silence, Hot Tub Time Machine\u2019s Craig Robinson has given an update on Part 3.
