“Well, this is a surprise. Deadline reports that MGM has hired Amy Jump to pen a sequel to last year’s Tomb Raider reboot. The film was a modest ground-rule double, earning $56 million domestic but overperforming overseas (including $78.4 million in China) for a $274.65 million global cume. That was about even (sans inflation) with Angelina Jole’s first Tomb Raider ($274.7 million in 2000) and was 2.92x its $94 million production budget.”
