Was Seed Freedom movie received well enough for Sunrise to consider making more, well, Seed Gundams?

It's a nice collaboration, especially considering Dune was referenced in the original Mobile Suit Gundam anime with Lalah Sune's line "I can see time", probably being a reference how in Dune people who use spice can see through time
Also, Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) is dubbed in Japanese by Miyu Irino, who voiced Saji Crossroad in Gundam 00

I dunno, there's quite a lot of similarities between Gundam universe(s) and Dune and how they discuss poltiics and race and specialness and all kinds of things.
I have no idea if Dune helped inspire Tomino at all (or if he was even familiar with it) but it wouldn't surprise me.
