No, the reviews weren’t great. Nor was the box office.

But when I talked with Gemma Arterton and Jeremy Renner, they were both down with the idea of making this silly/violent “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters” a franchise.

And now it may come to pass. A $200 million hit worldwide (and counting), that has them thinking they’ll come back for more witch hunting. Paramount, I mean.
