Plans to make 'Purge 3' are already in the works.
Jason Blum, the producer of 'The Purge', as well as 'Sinister' and 'Insidious', hopes the next instalment of the 'Purge' franchise will go back to the origins of the first film, which hit cinema screens in 2013 and starred Ethan Hawke.
He said: "I would like to tell a story about the Revolutionaries. I would like to tell the story about the first purge. Purge 1 was after five years, Purge 2 after six years; so it would be fun to see the first time it happened."
'The Purge', which is set in the near-future in Los Angeles, far surpassed its relatively modest budget at the box office and led to a sequel.
'The Purge: Anarchy' was released worldwide on July 18, 2014 and was another huge box office success, grossing nearly $100 million dollars, having only cost $9 million to make.
And the financial success of the franchise makes it appear as though a third film is inevitable, with speculation suggesting it could be released as early as summer 2015.

Paul Giamatti has been cast in 'Straight Outta Compton', the new biopic of hip-hop group NWA.
Giamatti, 47, will play the role of Jerry Heller, the manager of the iconic hip-hop group that achieved worldwide fame in the late 1980s and early 1990s with hits like '100 Miles and Runnin'.
The original line-up of NWA included Arabian Prince, DJ Yella, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, and Ice Cube, with MC Ren joining in 1988.
Although they were only together for five years, the group is considered to be one of the most influential in hip-hop history, pioneering so-called gangster rap.
There is already a huge amount of excitement within the hip-hop community regarding the release of the flick, which will see O'Shea Jackson Jr, 24, play the role of his father Ice Cube, while Dr Dre will be played by Marcus Callender.
Ice Cube, who is working on the film project with Dr Dre, recently told NME that the film may even inspire the group to reunite.
He said: "I think the movie will remind a lot of people the importance of who we were and what we did - including us. We're here to give the people what they want so who knows what will happen after the movie."

Sylvester Stallone is preparing to appear in 'Rambo 5'.
Stallone, 68, recently starred in the third instalment of the 'Expendables' franchise - in which he appeared alongside the likes of Harrison Ford and Jason Statham - and he's already working towards starring in 'Rambo 5'.
He said: "I'm getting ready for 'Rambo 5'. I'm starting to work out. I'm going to be appropriately vicious and all that stuff, but intellectual.
"A killer with a heart. Smart, yet stupid. Tall, yet short. Broad, but thin. You know what I mean. We're going to try to cover all the boundaries."
The fifth 'Rambo' film will see the central character - played by Stallone - face off against a Mexican cartel, with the action hero having previously described the much-hyped flick as his version of 'No Country for Old Men', the neo-Western thriller starring Javier Bardem and Tommy Lee Jones.
There is also the expectation that Stallone will prise the role of boxing champion Rocky Balboa in a new movie called 'Creed', which will see the iconic character mentor the grandson of his rival-turned-friend Apollo Creed.
The lead role in the flick is to be played by Michael B. Jordan, who is best known for playing the role of Wallace in 'The Wire'.

Ving Rhames is to return for the next 'Mission: Impossible' movie.
The highly-anticipated new flick, which is set to get underway in the UK later this year, will see Christopher McQuarrie assume directing duties and Rhames, 55, reprise the role of hacker Luther Stickell.
The news was confirmed by the director, who tweeted: "Welcome back Mr. Rhames."
The actor, who also starred in 'Pulp Fiction and 'Dawn of the Dead', appeared in earlier 'Mission: Impossible' films, and will now feature alongside Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise, as well as Jeremy Renner and Simon Pegg.
Pegg, 44, who is set to play the role of gadget nerd Benji Dunn for the third time, says he enjoys making the films and providing there is still an appetite among fans to watch them, the franchise will not go away.
He said: "It's my third one and I'm very excited to be back on that train, it's a very exciting ride.
"So as long as people want them, I guess we'll keep making them."
It's been confirmed the latest instalment in the Mission: Impossible' franchise will open in the UK on December 26, 2015.

Jackie Chan doesn't want violence or "dirty comedy" in his movies.
The 'Around the World in 80 Days' actor considers the films he directs to be like his children, and he has a very strict set of guidelines he makes sure he adheres to when working on a project and it includes stripping them of unnecessary fighting despite his martial arts background.
He told The Observer Magazine: "When I direct, the film is like my baby. I have to make sure there is comedy but no dirty comedy and a positive message.
"I like people to believe the stunts are real - it's not like 'Spider-Man' or 'Iron Man' where a 20-minute scene can be pure CGI. I only use a tiny bit of special effects.
"I want it to be believable, so where I used to do a triple kick, I now just do one. Eventually there will be no kicks. There has to be plenty of action, but not violence."
Meanwhile, Chan admitted even though his fame has come from starring in action films based on his martial arts skills, he actually has a real problem with "violence".
He explained: "I have a dilemma. I love action, but I hate violence. There is so much violence in the world, from video games and from other movies.
"I want my movies to have a message of peace, and helping each other ... You have to keep working and keep learning. If children are playing video games or lying in bed they won't."

Stellan Skarsgard has confirmed he will star in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'.
The 63-year-old actor will reprise his role as Dr. Erik Selvig in the 'Avengers Assemble' sequel but admits he is only going to make a "small appearance" in the hotly anticipated superhero movie.
He said: "I'm going to be in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron', a small appearance.
"I don't know what I'm allowed to say. But usually they call me in if they need something explained [to the audience].
"There's a lot of explanations to do when it comes to that universe."
It didn't appear to take much to convince Stellan to return for the 'Avengers' sequel as he admits he loves working with the studio because there is a personal touch and he knows he can give producer Kevin Feige a ring if he has an issue with something.
He added to Total Film magazine: "I like working with them because if I have a problem with the scene, I have Kevin Feige's number. I can call the head of the studio. You can't do that when you work on a normal Disney film or with Warner Bros. or Paramount."
Stellan also played Erik is 2011's 'Thor' and the sequel 'Thor: The Dark World'.
'Avengers: Age of Ultron' has completed filming and will be released on May 1, 2015.

Zoe Saldana says Vin Diesel's Groot "stole the show" in 'Guardians of the Galaxy'.
The 35-year-old beauty "fell in love" with the tree-like creature in the new Marvel movie - in which she plays Gamora opposite stars including Bradley Cooper and Karen Gillan - and can't remember feeling "moved" as much by any other fictional character.
She explained: "I think Grout stole the show, for me. I mean, I just fell in love with this big tree once we started filming.
"And even though I'm mature and I'm pretty sane, I can't really remember a fictional character that really moved me like that."
Director James Gunn, meanwhile, revealed that he is able to gain an insight into fan reaction to the film thanks to social media.
Gunn explained that he's received more tweets about Groot and Dave Bautista - a former WWE wrestler - than anyone else.
He added, jokingly: "Also, I like to say it's Bautista that steals the show because it embarrasses him. He's the one person I like to compliment as much as possible because he hates it."

Robert Pattinson lived on a diet of bread and barbecue sauce while filming 'The Rover'.
The 28-year-old actor insists he didn't mind shooting the movie - in which he plays a troubled man who is left for dead by his brother in the Australian outback - in remote surroundings because he found it so peaceful.
Asked whether it was a miserable experience filming in the heat and humidity of the desert, he explained: "No! Everyone keeps asking about how it awful the conditions were. But it was kind of nice.
"I liked it. The landscape is amazing and beautiful. The town was nine hours out of Adelaide in the desert. There was nothing to do. One pub. That was it. I literally ate bread and barbecue sauce for six weeks, every single day."
Pattinson also revealed that despite his acting successes, he still struggles from debilitating anxiety in front of the camera.
He told Time Out magazine: "My main problem with acting is crippling anxiety, especially in auditions. Since 'Twilight' I've tried to avoid them; I've maybe done three.
"The idea of it being a competition gets too much for me."

Eva Green lacks self-confidence away from the camera.
The 'Casino Royale' actress often plays strong on-screen roles, but says this is a marked deviation from her real life character.
She explained: "I'm not confident in real life. I'm drawn to play characters who aren't like me because sometimes they're the people I wish I could be in real life.
"If somebody annoys you, you say, 'Off with their head!' "
The 34-year-old beauty started acting as a means of boosting her self-confidence and has been surprised that is has progressed as far as it has.
She explained to Britain's Hello! magazine: "I was very shy at school - I never talked and thought I would pass out every time the teacher asked me a question.
"So I decided to take these classes to try to pretend to be somebody else and gain some confidence. I really enjoyed it so it went from there."
The revelation is perhaps made more surprising given that Eva's mother, Marlene Jobert, also worked as an actress.
Eva explained: "She was very successful in France but she gave it up in her early 40s. She said, 'This business is quite mad and I want to live my life how I want to live it, without people judging me.'"
