The Purge franchise has been a financial success for Universal Pictures, grossing over $535 million at the global box office against combined budgets of just $53 million. However, the studio is hesitant to greenlight a sixth film because it would be more expensive than the previous installments. The Purge 6 is reportedly estimated to have a budget of around $30 million. This is significantly higher than the budgets of the previous films, which ranged from $3 million to $10 million. The studio is likely concerned about the risk of making a more expensive film that might not perform as well.

In addition to the budget concerns, there are also creative differences between DeMonaco and Universal. DeMonaco wants to make a more ambitious film that explores the themes of the Purge franchise in a new way. However, Universal is concerned about making a film that is too dark or violent. As a result of these concerns,  The Purge 6 is currently on hold. It is unclear whether or not the film will eventually be made. However, if the studio is able to reach an agreement with DeMonaco on the budget and creative vision, it could be a lucrative addition to the franchise.

In the meantime, fans of the Purge can watch the previous films and the two-season TV show, which are all streaming on Peacock.

The film is expected to take place in a fractured America where the states are divided by ideology and sexual preference. Frank Grillo is expected to reprise his role as Leo Barnes. The film is expected to be more action-packed and suspenseful than previous installments. The film is still in the early stages of development, so a release date has not yet been announced.

The future of The Purge 6 is uncertain, but the franchise has a strong track record of success. If the studio is able to reach an agreement with DeMonaco, the film could be a major hit.

The film is set in a future where the Purge has become an annual tradition. The states are divided into different zones, each with its own set of rules and regulations. The film follows a group of survivors as they try to navigate this new world. The film is expected to be a more intense and suspenseful experience than previous installments.

The Purge 6 has the potential to be a major hit for Universal Pictures. However, the studio will need to be careful to balance the film’s budget and creative vision.
