One condition for Speed 3 explains why 1997’s sequel to Speed, which also starred Sandra Bullock like the original film, failed to recreate its predecessor’s success. With Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves as its leads, Speed performed incredibly well at the global box office after earning close to $350 million worldwide against a $30-37 million budget. Even from a critical standpoint, the movie was widely appreciated by viewers and critics and still boasts an impressive Rotten Tomatoes score of 95%. For obvious reasons, its success led to the development of a sequel, Speed 2: Cruise Control.
