Bridesmaids Sequel in the Works?

With the huge success of the summer comedy, earning $288 million worldwide, it's no surprise that rumors of a sequel to Bridesmaids have already started to circulate around the web. Now we've all seen this before. A film with a quirky and authentic concept does exceptionally well at the box office and studios attempt to capitalize on it by churning out a second film in hopes of making an even bigger profit.
