The Matrix trilogy was one of the biggest hits of the early 2000s. The first film, in particular, made nearly half a billion dollars on a $63 million budget. The sequels, which were both released in 2003, were even more successful. The Matrix Reloaded held the record for the highest-grossing R-rated film with a worldwide take of $739.4 million. Meanwhile, The Matrix Revolutions made history as the first live-action feature film to release on regular and IMAX theaters simultaneously.
Since then, the story of The Matrix universe has been expanded on in video games, animation, and comic books, but never in another film - until now.
