Remember, it did have a sequel, U.S. Marshals in 1998, but it didn't do well at the box office.

I wouldn't really call U.S. Marshals a sequel, per se. It's more a film that takes place in the same universe as The Fugitive and features many of the same characters.

Maybe a spin-off would be the right term.

In the genre of the 30-years-later follow-up, I actually wouldn't mind another spin-off from The Fugitive ... if it followed the same format, and was as tightly written as the original.
