Chris's Main Reasons: Money, Bigger Films, & Religion - Do you agree?

[@dell2169]

I agree, but I still feel like he should've done it just because the fans wanted it at least. Come to some type of common ground and work it out. I still think it would be EPIC.

[@BlackGoldSoul]

You really can't blame Chris he got cheated out of his money in the first film so he left which also turned out to be a good thing because he could have gotten typecast which is a career derailer. In my opinion he made the right decision plus the man has kids now and he has to set an example for them. We need more black people to do what he is doing to help us grow as a people. (Aside from the fake ass christian slave master religion) I completely agree with Chris decisions

It's funny how he didn't mind doing Rush Hour over and over and neither of those movies were funny at all. I get it's about the money. But out in Hollyweird where do your loyalty lie. He said that he already did Friday and turned around and did 2 sequels to Rush Hour. What do that sound like to any of you?

And let’s not forget that there was a lot more money coming into his pocket with all the other movies he did unlike Friday.

There was a DEFINITE void when Smokey didn't return to Next Friday and it is what it is. Him leaving made Friday an indelible classic never to be repeated.

What people have to understand is that, once you do a movie for a lower price, it brings your stock down for future roles financially. Ask Taraji P. Henson, when it came to the Benjamin Button's role. It wasn't until Tyler Perry casted her for a role and paid her a certain amount of money, where you couldn't pay her less than what Tyler Perry paid her. Good video bro.!!!!

THATS NOT NECESSARILY TRUE. THERE IS WHATS CALLED THE SAG MINIMUM THAT MUST BE PAID TO AN ACTOR NO MATTER WHAT. WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR TIME ON SCREEN IS WHAT MAKES YOUR CHECKS GO UP. WHEN THEY ALL GOT 5K THEY DIDNT EVEN KNOW IF THE MOVIE WAS GONNA FLOP OR NOT SO YOU CANT AFFORD TO BLOW MONEY.
