It was considered a financial and critical success to One Week in New York. A third film, was considered, with a planned release date of 1991, but due to Bridges not opting to return, and no other actor, being able to match his performance, plus the idea, that One Summer In The Valley, concluded Max & Emily's story perfectly, it was scrapped.
