It follows the adventures of Riddick as he attempts to elude capture and face an invading empire. The film received negative reviews. It grossed $115.8 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film in the franchise but still a financial disappointment. A sequel, titled Riddick, was released in 2013.
