how The Hunstman performs this Friday will be a good indication about how Pacific Rim 2 will do

How²?

Snow White had bigger box office, slightly better legs, and better home video sales than Pacific Rim, and its sequel floundered

Wasn't Pacific Rim better received though?

Movie geeks seemed to like it and, as always, assumed that everyone else did too. It's forgotten by most I'd imagine.

By critics sure but there is no proof audiences felt the same

No movie will ever release on December 31st. Especially not a 150M+ budgeted tentpole. December 31st is the worst release date you can ever get, it is after all the holidays are done and all the big movies have sucked up the cash. No idea where ComingSoon is getting this date from, but just the idea that any studio would release a huge tentpole on Dec 31 is laughable.

[Cookson]

Plus, December 31st of 2018 is a Monday

[Heat Vision]

No way it releases in December especially with other months having dates open.

Looks like if the sequel ever happens, Del Toro will neither write nor direct. This is like the fans made a faustian bargain - you get a Pacific Rim sequel but without Del Toro.

Not necessarily a bad thing.

Speaking of sequels which will drop from the first...

[John Marston]

so they are making it uh. O then. Get ready for a Huntsman type performance everywhere except China

[Jonwo]

Wonder where Universal will schedule it, I imagine August 2018 or April 2018.

The first one didn't even do that well..

[Chewy]

Well maybe this'll be better with a human instead of a cardboard box as the lead

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Nice, great news! I really liked him in The Force Awakens!
