New York - Despite scathing reviews from critics, Netflix has greenlit a sequel to Bright, with star Will Smith and director David Ayer expected to return. Bright is Netflix's first big-budget, tentpole-style release, with estimates that it cost at least $90m to produce. With a sequel, Netflix hopes to turn Bright into its first film franchise ? the kind Hollywood studios rely on. But it will be doing so with one of the worst reviewed films of the year. If that many moviegoers had paid tickets for Bright, it would have earned close to $100m over its first weekend, if going by the average movie ticket price.
