The third film comes much closer on the heels of its predecessor than “The Best Man Holiday” did. The original film in the series, “The Best Man,” was released in 1999 and grossed $34 million. The “Holiday” follow-up didn’t arrive until 2013 but grossed $70.5 million domestically.

The “Best Man” franchise stars Taye Diggs, Nia Long, Morris Chestnut, Harold Perrineau, Terrence Howard, Sanaa Lathan, Melissa De Sousa, Monica Calhoun and Regina Hall.

All are expected to return for the new movie, except for Calhoun, whose character Mia died in the last film.
