"Sandra Bullock had her biggest box office opening ever with The Heat, raking in $39 million in its debut weekend. The buddy-cop comedy costarring Melissa McCarthy has since made more than $130 million in the U.S. after its June 28 release, spawning talks of a sequel. Bullock squashed such suspicions in an interview with Entertainment Weekly on Wednesday, July 24.\r\n&amp;quot;I know they say never say never, but right now, I can&amp;apos;t imagine it,&amp;quot; Bullock, 48, says of reprising her role opposite McCarthy, 42. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#x2019;t want to ruin what Melissa and I had.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nBullock adds, &amp;quot;If a miracle happens where [a script] shows up that really and truly outdid the first and provided an experience that was better than the first one, then I would look at it. But I&amp;apos;m not there.&amp;quot;\r\nDirector Paul Feig had previously said that the film&amp;apos;s screenwriter, Katie Dippold, is hard at work on a follow-up to The Heat.\r\n\r\nBullock is no stranger to sequels, having starred in 1997&amp;apos;s Speed 2: Cruise Control and 2005&amp;apos;s Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous. Both films failed to match the success of the originals, and Bullock is leery of making the same mistake a third time. &amp;quot;If you look back on my illustrious sequel work, nothing has proven successful,&amp;quot; she says with a laugh. &amp;quot;A sequel is such a daunting thing, because you don&amp;apos;t want to lose the magic and the charm of the first one.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nWhether Bullock will change her mind remains to be seen, but as McCarthy revealed in the July 15 issue of Us Weekly, she had a blast working with -- and befriending --&amp;#xA0; the Oscar winning actress. &amp;quot;I thoroughly enjoyed saying awful things to Sandy,&amp;quot; she said of playing a foul-mouthed cop. &amp;quot;We get a along so well, it felt OK!&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
