![]() The second film was more in line with the shows “monster of the week”-style episode. The first film was strongly tied into the show’s popular ongoing “mythology” story arc concerning government conspiracies and an upcoming alien invasion. But the big difference between the two films is their subject matter. ![]() The follow up film came six years after the final new episode of the series had aired. Released in the summer of 1998, the film served to bridge two seasons of the popular, still-in-production series. Why the big drop off? Well, the first film had several things in its favor. Unfortunately, the 2008 follow up, X-Files: I Want To Believe, did less than half that with only $68.3 in ticket sales. The first X-Files film, subtitled Fight The Future, was a big hit for studio Fox bringing in $189.1 million at the box office. I think that the convincing studio Twentieth Fox part might be the big roadblock to a third X-Files film from happening. "I met with Chris before coming here and it's looking pretty good." According to a tweet from X-Files News (and pointed out to us by The Huffington Post), the actress stated “I met with before coming here and it’s looking pretty good,” though she did add that they still “have to convince Philes asking about XF3. This past weekend at the Toronto Fan Expo Canada the star of the cult classic television series was asked about the possibility of a third film spinoff and appeared for the most part positive in her answer. The truth may be out there, but is a third X-Files movie? Gillian Anderson seems to think so.
