Are we sure RP1 can still hit 200m? Seems like pretty hefty drops.
PRUs number is good, only from the perspective any Hollywood studio would love a 100m film in China. The only reason it's not actually good is because it was made specifically for that market. They were probably expecting a 200m result there.
-
Rampage is definitely not a guarantee to hit 100m.
-
This is actually a sequel to Piranha 3D. Tune in for the sequels after this, Meg vs Piranhas.
-
Seems like a decent shot to the arm for PRU. Might get lucky and get 100+m.

The problem with the Pacific Rim franchise is that you can't make it for less than 155mil because it's about big robots fighting. It's not going to look presentable with a budget less than that.
What's the budget for Rampage? Power rangers?

PRU was a movie made for China and it collapsed in there. I see a sequel to Tomb Raider as much more possible than a 3rd PR movie, but stranger things have happened I guess.
I agree. The possibility is there that PRU barely hits the break even point like the first film. Does the new regime at LP decide "well, we did break even so let's fix what went wrong in China" or simply move on to other Pokemon and MonsterVerse films. Remember, this is a studio with not many ips/franchises... So they might go with a 3rd thinking of it with that perspective.
-
231m WW for PRU is actually better than what I was expecting it to be. Now just imagine if it was actually holding better in China and US. A 3rd film would actually be on the table.
Will it actually hit 300m? Needs 320-330 before home video and merchandise imo for a 3rd film to happen.

No wonder this film was so expensive. Warner Bros probably paid a ton of money to other studios just for characters to appear.
-
I can't tell if this movie is being over or under predicted.

Is this movie riding on nostalgia? The movie looks fun but I'm really watching it later because of certain characters that are in this apparently.
Really want this and Rampage to surprise!

Totally imploding in China, losing ground to BP by the day. Did anyone even expect a decrease for the sequel in China?
Definitely not. Might not even hit 100m there. Crazy. Like I said elsewhere, even you could agree, LP should have gambled with the successful MonsterVerse (let's just say a Rodan film) rather than gamble on PR which didn't make a profit.

The PR sequel stuff is sad to talk about because the 1st barely earned a sequel (I'd say it didn't earn one), now it's going to go the same with PR2. Because of the smaller budget it might BARELY get a serious sequel discussion.
Legendary should get the rights to another popular giant monster in Japan, Gamera, and ride with that with Universal. Or stop all together and work on only MonsterVerse related giant monster films with Warner Bros.
-
Godzilla 2 can only go up imo. The first didn't crack 80m. I expect G2 to hit 100m
-
First made what, 410m WW. Surely Universal thought this would make less unless they were thinking it was going to do a insane China number....which I guess is possible.
-
350 seems about right. I think it has a shot at that.

Pacific Rim 2 should drop 60 percent. It will burn business on weekdays thanks to Easter holidays and RPO will hurt if
I think this will be most movies though. Spring break is this week, so weekend won't hold.

The first movie dropped 57.1% in its second weekend against The Conjuring. I imagine it'll only be worse for this one being a sequel and direct competition from Ready Player One.
It'll be close, but it should still outgross BP. A 50% drop for BP puts it at 8m. I expect PRU to make between 11-15m(probably the bottom of that).

PRU was Thomas Tull's last movie he himself greenlit that was a passion project. From here LP officially moves on from his era and should only take what worked under Tull.. which is really only the MonsterVerse

Difficult if almost half comes from China which lacks any serious ancillary market.
I'm not trying to hold on to any hope for this film(I think LP should have gotten Deknight to do a MonsterVerse film instead.. like a Rodan film) but I believe since LP is owned by Wanda they see a bit more money than other US studios. I know there's conflicting reports about this, but it only makes sense they do.

On a 150m budget, it'll need like 320-350m WW to start seeing a profit. Its opening in China definitely hurts it, but its opening here in the states(28m) is better than what most of us thought it would open too. I would say at this point it needs 200m between just the US(75m) and China(125m). I would think everyone else should get it to over 300m WW.
Needs to have some legs. I think spring break time will help it here.. maybe get it to 80m? Hopefully its weekdays in China hold and carry for a ok second weekend there.

PRU might be the first(or second)strike for Legendary. That company is in trouble. Right now, fans are safe with Godzilla 2.... Just need Godzilla vs Kong to begin production and released. Then LP can go under.
