People tend to forget A LOT about GI Joe and Paranormal Activity...

 

I'm not sure how much gas in the tank those two have left.

 

I think Paramount needs another mega blockbuster franchise.

 

Disney has 4 (Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, POTC). They can just sit back and watch the money pour in while other studios are lucky to have 2 mega-franchises.

I thought there are plans to make TS4?

 

I don't want to hear anything about that.

[Blankments]

Trek 3 will definitely happen; the film is a disappointment but will definitely end up making money in the long-run.

 

So yeah this weekend is perfect. We have a better-than-expected breakout in F&F6, an unexpected breakout in Epic, a failure that we all wanted to fail in Hangover, and three great holdovers. Personally, I'm really happy about Trek.

Is Pirates 5 definitely happening?

[#ED]

After catching fire, any other movie have a chance at 400M?(till May 2015)

Lets not forget Disney Animation (Tangled, Ralph and in the future Frozen) and fairy tales adaptations (Alice, Oz and in the future Maleficent and Cinderella).

Paramount are hoping to start connected franchises with Jack Ryan and Without Remorse.

Yes.

[grey ghost]

And Mission: Impossible.

 

Bank on Trek 3 for 2016. 50th anniversary of the franchise. Do what Skyfall did.

 

 

To repeat Skyfall's break-out success they'll need to revamp Trek like Sony did with Bond after QOS.

 

I don't see how they can do it without resorting to Abram's bag of tricks which have seemingly lost their magic..

How to Train Your Dragon 2

I really don't think so.

Abrams' so-called "bag of tricks" are still going to result in one of the best performances of the franchise with STID. They haven't lost their magic.

It has the best chance of any 2014 film IMO, unless Noah or Interstellar breakout on Titanic levels.

How to Train Your Dragon 2

Not happening.

I doubt any of them will become a franchise.

Jack Ryan, possibly, but I'll believe it when I see it. The absence of Bourne and scattered Bond movies does leave a big hole for it to break out, though.

Youre gonna jinx it to pull a Trek 2/Panda 2 haha. We know noyhing about it yet that would warrant $400M, and IMO DM2 has a better chance. We'll see though Edited May 25, 2013 by jandrew

They seem like sure bets to me. They'll never be huge but I can't see them not doing reasonably well.

Everyone does realize STID is still going to profit? Possible 2x the original.

I'm just saying it has a chance considering the immense popularity of the first movie. It also has all of summer 2014 to itself; the next animated film is scheduled for November 7.... $350M is more likely, but I could see a leggy run to $400M
