help Push FAQ
Did Push ever get a sequel or a TV series?
No, despite the deliberately open ending, Summit Entertainment never made Push 2. Talk of continuing the story has surfaced on and off since 2009, but nothing has been produced, and Summit's attention moved to franchises like Twilight and later The Twilight Saga's successors.
What are the different psychic powers in Push?
The 2009 film sorts its psychics into classes: Movers like Chris Evans's Nick manipulate objects, Watchers like Dakota Fanning's Cassie see the future, Pushers implant beliefs, while Bleeders, Sniffs, Shifters, Wipers, and Shadows round out the underground ecosystem. The Division, the government agency hunting them, wants a drug that amplifies these abilities.
Was Push a box office hit?
It did modestly, grossing just under $50 million worldwide against a budget reportedly around $16 million. That was enough to avoid being a disaster but not enough to justify the franchise the ending clearly hoped for.
Where was Push filmed?
Largely on location in Hong Kong, which gives the movie its distinctive neon back-alley look compared to most psychic-thriller fare. Director Paul McGuigan, who also made Lucky Number Slevin, used the city as practically a third main character.
