I'll be surprised if this doesn't get a sequel. Whether it deserves it aside, they may lower the budget and try again.

 

What they would fear is a the % drops Neighbors and Horrible Bosses showed from their predecessors. But both those sequels had reasonable budgets.

How much can they lower GB2's budget?

The main cast will remain the same and get higher salaries. They may have to add an actor or two (at least one more big comedian).

With higher salaries/extra actors can they go lower than GB's budget?

If this one does 130-140 dom...I don't see the next one doing more than 90-110 dom.

Unless they are certain of OS growth, or GB auxiliary revenue is very good, GB2 might be tough.

People need to stop acting like Pets had a 150m budget, it is doing spectacular.

[Mojoguy]

WYNGC isn't getting a sequel, especially with how little it will be making.

The V Tarzan ( a review from a female critic where she gushed over Skarsgard abs and his V)

What the HELL is Tarzan's "V"? lol

Possibly Pokemon Go or a sense of fear from all that's going on in the world.

Yeah, those people who live in Alabama aren't going to the movies because of the failed coup in Turkey.

People were being very harsh on Pet's second weekend drop, which I consider to be pretty average for an animated movie.

[eddyxx]

I just listened to that terrible Fall Out Boy theme for the new GB movie. How awful. Ghostbusters are supposed to have cool soundtracks with good music. I don't even need to list the obvious Ray Parker JR theme. What happened to movies with good soundtracks like this?

 

 

 

also I haven't seen the video for the new theme but does it have cool celebrity cameos like this one and the original GB theme because those had cameos that were basically the who's who in 1980's pop culture.

The drop is alright. Not the best, but the movie is doing great. Everything is preaches and roses for pets

[Planodisney]

Pets is doing great, but facts are facts.  That 2nd weekend drop is acting much more like a hugely marketed sequel than a original animated feature which is what many of us were saying was likely to be the case, to much ridicule.

Zootopia-31%

Inside Out-41%

Despocable Me-41%

Pets-52-53%

Minions 58%

Maybe because Pets isn't a Great movie like the ones above it. They should of stuck with the original premise of what do pets do in the home when their owner is away.

[Bishop54]

Let's stop with the excuses like Pokémon Go and the failed attempted coup in Turkey, it's quite honestly embarrassing.

[Chaz]

God damn, Pets really shot Dory in the kneecaps.

A BTTF 4 will never happen as long as Zemecksis and Gale are alive. And Chris Lloyd is not gonna outlive both.

Someone mentioned maybe in this thread or the ghostbusters thread that the game released in 2009 was for all intents and purposes ghostbusters 3. I think the same applies to BTTF. The Telltale game released a few years ago was written by Gale and Lloyd voiced Doc. I don't think I would want another BTTF at this point. Too much has changed.
