This is true, however I'm not a Brit and I find their humor to be quite enjoyable hilarious. I laughed a lot at The Pirates for example.

 

loved Pirates.

Sorry.

He really is a damn bastard.

I think it is clear that even if your films was extremely well received you can't wait too long these days if you want the sequel to explode. We saw that with Star Trek 2 and now it looks like it is happening with Dragon as well. 

 

 

 

taking a look at the sequels to well received films that did explode or did very well. Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Twilight: New Moon, Transformers 2, Fast and Furious 6, Hangover Part 2, 22 Jump Street. They came out two years or less after their predecessor. Coincidence? I think not

 

On the other hand, Skyfall, TDK, Toy Story 3, etc

 

I think content and context matters way more than some arbitrary timeline

Noctis Lies. That should be his name now.

[Noctis]

Sorry.

Gullible bitch, lol.

Hmmm....so Dragon 2 cost twenty million less to make than the first....and is as good/nearly as good as that one....lesson here for DW: it's okay to have smaller budgets.

I was talking about recent sequels primarily. Things seem to have changed.

HTTYD had a higher budget due to being development for a long time plus Dreamworks have been trying to cut their budget to $125-145m, still higher than their competition but lower than Disney/Pixar, 

 

It's lucky Katzenberg owns Dreamworks Animation as any other executive would have received their marching orders.

Besides that's the first time I've experienced that trick of yours.

I think you mean...It's ok to lie and pretend your budget was lower than the first film.20m less than he first film! I laughed!

[rickfox]

so, anyone want to say Dragon 2 is done in boxoffice area?

Pixar movies like MU, TS3, Finding Dory are/will be exceptions when it comes to long gaps cause their previous installments were etched into people's hearts before animation broke out big time. They have a special place.

also, these aren't the best examples. Skyfall had the 50th anniversary hype, TDK was three years after and had Batman's most well known villains and TS3 had ten years of inflation and added 3D for the first time

Avatar cost $250M!

 

I read it on the internets

Rth just posted in the HTTYD2 thread that he revised his numbers up to 21.5-24 for Dragons!24 would be awesome

Yes, 24M would be great! :)Edit: You tricked me. Edited June 14, 2014 by Empire

Like I said, content and context

[cory]

There's a reason why Disney is doing Star Wars every 2 years instead of every 3. They've seen the market change.
