Hollywood and Poster Catch Phrases

I feel like this is how Hollywood meetings discussing movie poster catch phrases must go:

They’ve just arrived in the conference room and someone immediately pipes up:

The film: RAGING INFERNO

How about “Raging Inferno - Detective Nick Inferno Is Raging”?

The boss: Works for me. Let’s break for lunch.

Then a couple years later, after RAGING INFERNO cleaned up at the box office the first two weeks before people realized it was a piece of crap, therefore warranting a sequel:

Again they just arrive in the conference room, now needing a title as well as a poster catch phrase and new someone immediately pipes up:

How about:

‘Raging Inferno 2 – Detective Nick Inferno Is Raging…Again’

The new boss: Works for me. Let’s break for lunch.
