Still not a great move. 

 

I also completely forgot about Robin Hood. Hollywood stay trying to make the Middle Ages happen on the big screen.

[Zakiyyah6]

Yeah I see Ready Player One as a potential 200+mil grosser so good luck. Being in Black Panther's second weekend was a bad spot though.

[YM!]

Well. Uprising is now in a worse spot. On the bright side, a Panther will completely dominate February and early March.

[ban1o]

yeah they moved i because of Black Panther. I think it;s a better idea. If black panther is the huge hit people think it will be it could have hurt this film. i mean it will get the Marvel action film crowd but also the black audience as well. 

[NoobSaibot]

No matter where they put it, a sequel was always going to be a hard sell.

[Fancyarcher]

Seems like a smart move, Ready Player One could hurt it, but it would have done worse with Black Panther. Not that I expect the film to do all that great anyway.

I don't see the sequel doing well in the U.S. Overseas? Perhaps but the states? Nope.

China. Still, it looks very different from the first at first glance. Let's see what a real trailer shows us though.

[RobinHood26]

Id move it to January 19th, fuck it.

Exactly what I was hoping though Uprising was never going to be a competition domestically. But now BP has OS domination too.

ha,ha, this. It's funny that Hollywood completely failed with it after LOTR (which wasn't real Middle Ages but it was heavily inspired by that period). Kingdom of Heaven, King Arthur flopped. Then Robin Hood with too old cast flopped. Now these new "quirky" movies are flopping left and right (deserving so).  They just don't know how to handle it. Poeple don't want straight up MA, but mix with fantasy, like GoT (that satisfies MA fix for everyone), LOTR and how POTC turned pirates genre from flop to hit.

It was gonna face the second weekend of Black Panther in its original spot. I'm guessing Robin Hood is moving now.

It is a dick measuring contest to see which is the biggest DOM bomb: Robin Hood or Pacific Rim 2.

Robin Hood for sure.  Pacific Rim 2 will make like 55M domestic.  I have doubts on Robin Hood even reaching 30M.

[Ethan Hunt]

Still not a great spot but better I think

I love this prediction for both bombs.

Don't forget Sherlock Gnomes, which opens on March 23rd too.

Hell, there's a small chance Gnomes does Storks numbers and outgrosses both.

I don't understand why Legendary went with a Pacific Rim sequel. They should have done a MonsterVerse film for 2018 to solidify that universe more. More opportunity for success with the MonsterVerse.

China. Apaprently the first one did well there. I never understood love for Pacific Rim. I thought it was completely blah and that it was overhyped only cause BdT directed it. Dumb, awfully flat characters, bad dialog, cheesy lines, action shot in the dark as if it's a fuckin Underworld. Blech.
