What do you do if you’re really good at magic tricks? Well you steal diamonds, of course! That’s what the Four Horsemen of the “Now You See Me” films do, and the third film – “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” – is on the way. “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” hits theaters November 14 and you can watch the trailer below.

The film reunites Jesse Eisenberg as Danny Atlas, Woody Harrelson as Merritt McKinney, Dave Franco as Jack Wilder, and Isla Fisher as Henley Reeves. According to the trailer, there looks to be some trouble between the Four Horsemen, and so enter Ariana Greenblatt, Dominic Sessa, and Justice Smith.

Also new to the series is Rosamund Pike, who appears to be the villain of the piece. Morgan Freeman reprises his role as Thaddeus Bradley, as does Mark Ruffalo as Dylan Rhodes.
Ruben Fleischer directs “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t.” Development on an upcoming fourth film is already underway with Fleischer once more behind the camera.
“We were so happy with the director’s cut, we’re already developing the next chapter,” Lionsgate’s Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson said according to Variety. “We can’t wait for audiences to discover what he’s done with the third film and thrilled he’ll be making even more magic with us.”
The “Now You See Me” films have so far proven to be dependable money makers for Lionsgate. In 2013 “Now You See Me” made $351.7 million against a $75 million production budget, and in 2016 “Now You See Me 2” took in $334.9 million against a reported $100 million budget. Not exactly Marvel blockbuster numbers, but still good.
On the other hand, the “Now You See Me” flicks are not exactly critical darlings. The first film earned a 51 percent critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, while “Now You See Me 2” not only was hit with a 34 percent critics score, but a similarly dismal 53 percent audience score.
Still the critics can say what they like as long as a movie puts butts in seats, and so far the “Now You See Me” films have certainly done that.
We’ll have to wait and see exactly how the world takes the third entry, “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t”. The threequel releases in theaters on November 14.
