Aborted sequel

On The Jonathan Ross Show on 16 January 2016, Michael Caine claimed that there was a sequel well into planning which saw the coach saved by burning off the fuel which re-balanced the bus allowing the crew to get off, which in turn caused the coach and the gold to fall into the valley where it was picked up by the local mafia. The sequel would then see the crew pursue the mafia across France to retrieve their haul. The potential film - potentially entitled The French Job - was being promoted in Hollywood before a disagreement about the promotion led to the project being canned (according to Caine). Is there anything solid about this out there? There is nothing in the article. danno_uk 21:59, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Spoiler in first paragraph!

This page looks terribly edited... Considering the immense fame of the film, references are missing and content layout/ordering is thoughtless. 82.2.100.6 (talk) 19:10, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2003 remake

Although it bears the same title to the orginal 1969 farce comedy..the plot seems more closer to the 1967 John Wayne-Kirk Douglas Movie The War Wagon in which a rancher and associates take revenge on a corrupt businessman who had stolen a ranch and harresed a local Inidan tribe. 72.49.135.236 (talk) 14:28, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Box Office

The box office figure in the infobox relates solely to two UK re-releases (quite possibly one-screen-only) in 2019 and 2020, and is therefore the result of either ignorance or vandalism, though inevitably you find it repeated all over the Web 'because it's on Wiki'. The film is believed to have made $10m from its first run in 1969 (equivalent to at least $200m now) on a $3m budget, despite its failure in the US due, in Michael Caine's opinion, to an extremely misjudged poster campaign. Note that by 1999 Paramount, by dint of 'creative accounting', were still claiming that the film had made a loss. Among other things they were still claiming compound interest, over 30 years, on the money they put into the production, even though it had long been earned back. American film accountants do this kind of thing to avoid any admission of profit, but it is, obviously, a racket. Paramount also claimed that Forrest Gump made a loss, even though it cost $55m and made $675m.
