In an interview, Ryan Gosling recently shared his thoughts on the lack of a sequel for the 2016 action-comedy “The Nice Guys.” According to Gosling, the fate of a sequel often hinges on a film’s performance during its opening weekend, and unfortunately for “The Nice Guys,” it faced formidable competition.

Gosling explained that the movie’s release coincided with the premiere of “The Angry Birds Movie,” which dominated the box office and overshadowed the debut of “The Nice Guys.” With other major releases like “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising” and “Captain America: Civil War” also vying for audiences’ attention, “The Nice Guys” faced an uphill battle from the start.
