The State Theater Ann Arbor, MI

shows a double feature of Kill Bill

Vol. 1 & 2

Kill Bill: Volume 2was released in theaters on April 16, 2004. Volume 2 's opening weekend gross was

higher than Volume 1 's, and the equivalent success confirmed the

studio's financial decision to split the film into two theatrical

releases.[6]Volume 2attracted more female theatergoers than

Volume 1, with 60% of the audience being male and 56% of the

audience being men between the ages of 18 to 29 years old.

Outside of the United States and Canada, Volume 2was released in

20 territories over the weekend of April 23, 2004. It grossed an

estimated $17.7 million and ranked first at the international box

office, ending an eight-week streak held by The Passion of the

Christ.[7]Volume 2grossed a total of $66.2 million in the United

States and Canada and $86 million in other territories for a

worldwide total of $152.2 million.[8]

The movie follows "The Bride" pursuing Bill's brother Budd and confronting Elle Driver, a fellow student

of Pai Mei. She eventually catches up with Bill himself.

The Whole Bloody Affair

Tarantino announced at the 2008 Provincetown International Film Festival that a single film version of par

1 and 2 calledKill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affairwith an extended animation sequence was to be released

in May 2009.[9]Screenings of the complete film began on March 27, 2011 at the New Beverly Cinema.[10

This was verified to be the original print that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2003,[11]before the

decision was made to split the film into two parts due to the roughly four-hour length. The print shown at

the New Beverly even retained the French subtitles necessary for screening an English-language film at th

Cannes festival.

Differences in this version in comparison to the separate Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 versions include the "old

Klingon proverb" shown at the beginning of Vol. 1 is not present, although a dedication to filmmaker Kinj

Fukasaku is in its place; the anime sequence is slightly longer with more gore; The House of Blue Leaves

battle is in color (it had been toned down to black and white for the USA release of Vol. 1 only); Sofie

Fatale loses both of her arms; the revelation that The Bride's daughter is alive at the end of Vol. 1 is not

present, nor is the short black and white scene at the beginning of Vol. 2 where The Bride is driving and

sums up the action to that point; in its place is a small musical intermission that leads straight into Chapter

6.

Sequel

Tarantino toldEntertainment Weeklyin April 2004, that he was planning a sequel:

Oh yeah, initially I was thinking this would be my "Dollars Trilogy". I was going to do a new

one every ten years. But I need at least fifteen years before I do this again. I've already got the

whole mythology: Sofie Fatale will get all of Bill's money. She'll raise Nikki, who'll take on

The Bride. Nikki deserves her revenge every bit as much as The Bride deserved hers.

Accordingto Bloody-Disgusting.com, details emerged around 2007 about two possible sequels,Kill Bill

Volumes 3and 4. According to the article, "Bennett Walsh said at the Shanghai International Film Festival

the third film involves the revenge of two killers whose arms and eye were hacked by Uma Thurman in the

first stories". The article adds that the "fourth installment of the popular kung fu action films concerns a

cycle of reprisals and daughters who avenge their mother's deaths".[12]

At the 2006Comic Con, Tarantino said that after the completion of Grindhouse, he wanted to make two

animeKillBillfilms. One will be an origin story about Bill and his mentors, and the other will be an origin

starring TheBride. The latter is most likely to be a prequel, but could also follow the rumored (sequel) plo

reported inEntertainment Weeklyin April 2004.[13][14]

At the Morelia International Film Festival on October 1, 2009, while being interviewed on an Italian TV

show afterbeing asked about the success of the twoKill Billfilms, Tarantino addressed the hostess by

claiming,"You haven't asked me about the third one" then asking the woman to ask the question would he

be makingathirdKill Billfilm, which he replied "Yes", and claiming "The Bride will fight again!"[15]On

October 3,2009, he further predicted thatKill Bill 3would be his ninth film, and would be released in

2014.[16]He said he intends to make another unrelated film (likely referring toDjango Unchained) before

that date ashis eighth film. He confirmed that he wanted ten years to pass between the Bride's last conflictto give herand her daughter a period of peace.[17]

In December 2012, Tarantino said that aKill Bill Vol. 3was unlikely, and that he wishes to focus on other

unrelatedprojects.[2]
