Did over $400M WW BO (was huge in China and Japan).  So it probably did make some money, not withstanding its huge budget, and its not surprising a sequel was green-lit.  Also not surprising that they took a while to decide they were willing to green-light it.

 

Fixed

[Wrath]

Oh, I know.  It did ok in Japan but nothing special.  

 

I rewrote the comment like 5 times trying to work out a "We're huge in Japan" joke, and that was the closest I could get.

I'm thinking this did well on home video

lets be serious...this will NOT happen, just like Snow White 2 will not happen.

Stranger things have occurred.

Both are happening. Except Snow White 2 doesn't have Snow White lol

Really?  Can't replace with another actress?

[kowhite]

They're replacing Snow White with the best possible replacement...

 

No Snow White.

[DAJK]

Does Snow White even have a release date?

[Ethan Hunt]

Not notably. Combined with the fact that PR plays like the third film in a trilogy and literally wrapped up the story this film is beyond unnecessary.

[PDC1987]

Did they make much through merchandise? 

The NECA toys are the only ones I know of, and those have limited distribution compared to mass produced stuff like Hasbro.

[Heat Vision]

According to Del Toro this continues right after the first movie.

It does not play like a trilogy. It plays like a movie that wrapped up its plot. The goal of every movie. 

 

Does Star Wars: A New Hope play like a trilogy?

Del Toro Interview:http://herocomplex.latimes.com/movies/comic-con-guillermo-del-toro-talks-crimson-peak-pacific-rim-2/#/1

I want it to be different enough to the first one that you don’t feel you’re seeing the same movie. I’m doing a little more location-oriented stuff, there are night battles, but there are also daylight battles. The things we do in the action scenes is very different from the first one. We are expanding the mythology of the Anteverse. We are taking the characters into a completely different journey this time because Raleigh for me solved his problem the minute he was able to go full circle and save Mako by sacrificing himself, which is what he couldn’t do with his brother. He’s not on that journey anymore, he’s on a new journey.

[kayumanggi]

I really want a fight in Manila. Ha ha.This is one good franchise for Universal. I'm happy they didn't give up on it.

After watching the first one several times, the Australian accents get more annoying each time.

[The Futurist]

You american are so bitchy with accents sometimes.Be more tolerant, diversity is the spice of life.

[TServo2049]

Australian dad guy was awesome. They should have killed Charlie Hunnam and the annoying son and kept Idris Elba and Aussie Dad alive.

I think you need to watch it again. Because we clearly saw two different movies. Edited September 19, 2014 by Boner Omega
