KATCH-2D2 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Even if it does over $400m WW, wouldn't it still too risky to make a sequel with that 'just break even' number? The sequel won't cost less. It'd need to look more spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd need to look more spectacular. Unlike us, the studio actually knows if it made money or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Rock Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 They can definitely cut the cost for sequel...G.I Joe did that and got bigger stars as well in the process...reduce the cost and get one or two box office draws. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) They can definitely cut the cost for sequel...G.I Joe did that and got bigger stars as well in the process...reduce the cost and get one or two box office draws. but the studio can easily get a "Why bother" type feel since they can just focus on trying to make something else. Also, GI Joe introduced 3D to the series while PR already had it. Also GI reduced costs by cutting down on the big CGI sequences, which for a film like PR is pretty much a necessity Edited August 9, 2013 by Robert Muldoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Rock Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Yes I do agree on the fact that they can focus on trying something else....but then Legendary might think to try to turn this into franchise as well...PR2 can do well even while reducing bit of cgi and giving proper attention to script/characters (which is major complain to the movie). Anyways I doubt that sequel will happen though but you never know the studios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 The best way to know if a movie makes money or not is to see if the studio greenlights a sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmpro Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 BB did' ent make money in theaters. But still got a sequel..Its a matter of potential. But agree with fd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Most big movies dont make money from theaters. But most movies do make money when all is said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviedweeb Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 If a movie barely breaks even or is just slightly in the red but has the potential to launch a franchise, the a studio will likely green light a sequel. As fmpro said, it's all about potential and a pacific rim sequel has the potential to do some serious business in Asia (maybe $150m from China alone).

fmpro Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 And 150 mill should be very possible..Think of it this way..If PR2 made 150 mill in China and WB gets 40% with zero marking costs, its like making a 110 mill $ movie..That should be no problem making back in the rest of the world... And making money also.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POLYLOVE Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Today PR looks only dropped 45% from last Sat. It's a better hold than MOS and IM3. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Today PR looks only dropped 45% from last Sat. It's a better hold than MOS and IM3. That would be awesome hold. Massive jump just like last week on Saturday so around 37-38M. 100M might happen afterall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop54 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Apparently in São Paulo Brazil, there are two showings of PR that is the Japanese dubbed version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
