Even though neither Sicario nor its sequel, Sicario: Day of the Soldado, managed to hit the coveted $100 million mark at the worldwide box office, a third installment was recently confirmed. The key to the unlikely franchise's success is its popularity at home. Both Sicario and Sicario 2 have proven to be long-running hits on the PVOD market, and this has encouraged everybody involved to return for another installment. Crime remains a massively popular genre, and evidence in support of this claim can regularly be seen in streaming viewership data. For instance, Netflix's biggest international title this year happens to be a Sicario-style crime thriller set in the badlands of Mexico. The movie remains among the streamer's most-watched non-English films, having recently secured a spot on the top-10 list for the ninth week. This bodes well for the new Sicario film, which will enter production in 2027.
