Taye Diggs Reveals What’s Preventing ‘Best Man 3’

He revealed that others who worked on the “Best Man” movies are eager to start on a third. But its fate is tied to how other black-oriented films, including the upcoming “Think Like a Man Too,” perform at the box office. He explained:

Unfortunately, the business is such that as far as studios are concerned, they judge one quote-unquote black movie on how other ‘black’ movies have done, even if they have nothing to do with each other.

He continued:

We’ve definitely come a long way. But we’ve got a long way to go. It’s too bad we can’t do well on our own merit when it comes to the studios. They don’t like to take risks and, unfortunately, we’re still considered a huge risk, even though I don’t think we are.

Reportedly, “The Best Man Holiday” grossed more than $70 million in North America last year and was profitable. Other cast members have yet to comment. [Associated Press]
