Now that the interesting premise is already known, I'd doubt there's anything left worthwhile for sequels. You'd have to advance the premise to a wider sci-fi political thriller. i mean a great horror director could redo that whole home-invasion bit, but that seems awfully repetitious.

I did like The Purge, but not a lot.
Like you, I liked the idea behind story, but not the story itself, which turned out to be a simple home invasion movie. The second movie went outside the house and that was all fine and dandy, but other than that there really wasn't anything new to it. Then this third movie comes out. Outside again and everything is pretty much the same as the last one. I can't really see this getting more sequels. There just isn't enough meat in the concept.
