The question remains: Why has Warner Bros. Yet, here we are, the passage of time notwithstanding, still awaiting further escapades featuring Debbie Ocean and her cohorts. Mixed audience reactions resulted in only a 47% positive score on Rotten Tomatoes. Boasting an all-star ensemble including Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Sarah Paulson, Helena Bonham Carter, Rihanna, Awkwafina, and Mindy Kaling, the third installment of the popular 'Ocean's' franchise proved its mettle at the box office, amassing a worldwide total of $297.8M, a figure roughly on par with ' Ocean's Thirteen.' Additionally, it garnered favorable reviews from critics. However, a sequel has yet to materialize for reasons unknown. ' Ocean's 8' graced the big screen more than five years ago and it seemed to promise more to come.
