These movies are pretty low budget and they just print money. I'd be shocked if they don't have a new one out in the next 5 or 6 years

IIRC the rights are reverting to someone else now. I think we'll see a reboot within a few years as well.

Deadline said this one cost around $30 million which isn't that cheap actually. It doesn't even look like it either

For an established franchise blockbuster, it is still relatively cheap. $30 million isn't a huge investment for a big studio like Universal and it is still a big IP franchise that is almost certainly going to pull in 100 million worldwide and draw some pretty substantial traffic to their streaming service.

When they inevitably reboot the series, they're not going to have to pay Jamie Lee Curtis so it should be a little lower budget.
