The first of the “Journey” films, the 2008 “Journey to the Center of the Earth,” grossed nearly $102 million domestically and $242 million worldwide on a $60 million budget.
That movie starred Brendan Fraser and Josh Hutcherson. Eric Brevig directed.
The second, the 3D “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” stars Hutcherson, Dwayne Johnson and Vanessa Hudgens.
It is unclear whether they will return for a third "Journey" film, but TheWrap has learned that the studio would like to have the cast, as well as the director, writers and producers, back for a possible third "Journey."
The first movie was based on Jules Verne’s “Journey to the Center of the Earth.” The second is based on his "Mysterious Island."
