Bad Moms is getting a Bad Dads spin off for some reason

Bad Moms pretty much came out of nowhere to be one of the surprise hits of the summer, raking in over 170 million dollars worldwide on a relatively low 20 million budget.

You might think that means everyone involved would be running straight into sequel territory but studio STX have other plans. A statement (via Deadline) says they're moving in different directions:

“Where other studios have automatically green lit traditional and significantly more expensive sequels, STX has determined those sequels on average are grossing 68% less than the originals. Instead, STX has chosen to focus on extending consumer passion for the Bad Moms brand with a series of film spinoffs, a reality television show, short form digital content, and a robust consumer products program.”
