Am I crazy for wanting to buy this?

 

[jerry113]

Based on this, I predict PR2 will feature Chinese jaegars in an expanded role.

Hey, kinda like what's happening with Transformers 4, eh? The inclusion of famous chinese actors into the movie.

 

[Little Old Man]

I did my part this evening and finally got round to seeing it. I'd damn well love a sequel.

 

[Chamber]

Gipsy vs. Godzilla incoming?

 

[GoodMorning]

ATLANTIC RIM

 

[Battle Born]

This is great news!!! I hope we do get a sequel for Pacific Rim. It was a very fun movie to watch.

 

[RoboPlato]

To all non-Americans that have seen Pacific Rim: Thank you
To all Americans that haven't seen Pacific Rim: You suck

I saw it twice in IMAX 3D. I did my part.

Gipsy vs. Godzilla incoming?

Legendary has hinted that they want to make this happen if Godzilla does well.

 

[devilhawk]

The "omg bomba! No sequel, I told you so" people in the last few threads will probably be quietly fuming.

 

[zerodayPopbot]

fucking yes. bravo china and co. next up, japan domination.

 

[Error]

An animated show that covers everything from the first Kaiju attack to how the Jeager program was conceived and all those Jeagers that we caught a glimpse of in the movie but never saw in action would be tits.

She looks like a lounge singer.

Kaiju Masters still around since nuclear blast only closed the rift, mecha kaiju, more human kaiju drifting, Gipsy Danger 2.0, etc.

EDIT: Beaten like Crimson Typhoon and Cherno

Pacific Rim 2: A Wakening of the Trailblazer.

 

[donkey show]

Pacific Rim 2: A Wakening of the Trailblazer.

 

[Loxley]

But...but...the box office experts on GAF told me this would never get a sequel??

 

[timetokill]

Really great news.

I know they aren't counting this in the numbers above, but I wonder how much money they are making off of merchandise as well.

what merchandise? The 2 or 3 figures found in your local comic shop?

It would only be the raddest decision of your entire life.

Yeah America has bad taste in movies, thank you Europe and Asia!

 

[matthieuC]

How would a sequel even work though?

People said that about Titanic 2.

 

[mechashiva]

Love this news, but I'm confused as to why people want Tilda Swinton in a sequel.

 

[IsayFever]

Thank you international market. Hopefully Pacific Rim just keeps going on and on in different mediums

 

[ZoddGutts]

They gotta include some noteable actors from China/Japan/Korea for the sequel. Andy Lau, Hiroshi Abe and someone from SNSD. Boom the sequel will do crazy numbers in Asia.

Foreign numbers not including China and Japan yet, Korea has the highest foreign number at 17 Million, will likely end up third behind China and Japan:

[fallagin]

Yeah yeah!

I wonder if we'll get some jaeger vs jaeger action next time around!

 

[markatisu]

All of GAF who foretold no sequel based solely on the US and despite those us telling you merchandising + international box office were going to carry it through you can now eat crow

 

[hamchan]

Yes, this is what I want to see.

Make all the Asian robots awesome too.

 

[Amikami]

Hell To The YEAAAAH!!

I'm already waitin'

We also need Jaegars to combine and create a Mega-Jaegar and fights in space to truly be the big budget Voltron/Power Ranger I need.

I'M SO WET RIGHT NOW.

 

[Judderman]

GDragon and TOP pilot the new Mach VI Jaeger from Unified Korea, named _____ _______.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

I hope.

 

[ZoddGutts]

It's not like they'll have to pay Andy Lau, Hiroshi Abe and some Korean Idol a shit ton of money. Give each 2 million and call it a day, money will rain down from Asia.

 

[artist]

But what about our resident box-office

Spoiler

salty

experts?

It won't top 200 mil overseas based on how it opened.

I am sooooooo glad that this transformers knock off is failing.

Pacific Rim bomba

 

[Timbuktu]

Yes. Takeshi Kaneshiro if you want pan asia.

 

[doctorcdcs]

Well, there was your first hint that a sequel would happen

 

[Monocle]

Love this news, but I'm confused as to why people want Tilda Swinton in a sequel.

The fact that she's awesome is enough.

 

[demosthenes]

Kinda. That's a lame pose

She looks like a lounge singer.

Yea, I dislike the pose

 

[victreeb3l]

THANK YOU LORD

 

[lmpaler]

Damn I am fucking happy. Thank you Foreign box office.

This.

Also please Del Toro, do At The Mountains of Madness like you have wanted for 20 years man. I need it

 

[Sub_Level]

YES

YES

YES

YES

FUCK YES FUCK YES FUCK YES

FUCK

YES

FUCK

YES

 

[Joel Was Right]

What about a sequel for Speed Racer?

 

[KamenSenshi]

Super awesome news. I'll take a sequel, and a manga.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Kinda. That's a lame pose

She looks like a lounge singer.

I'm positive there's fan art of that somewhere.

 

[Gallbaro]

I demand Cherno Prequel!

 

[Big-E]

Wait 9 million opening is a lot? Thought China could pull more than that.

 

[Chuck Norris]

The international spin they had on the movie was the smartest thing they did. Its like the World Cup of monster movies

 

[Mariolee]

But what about our resident box-office

Spoiler

experts?

 

[inky]

Yes. Takeshi Kaneshiro if you want pan asia.

I would love that, but isn't he super picky about his roles? Or at least that is what I read long ago somewhere.

Mexico WB 7/12/13 $5,497,542 39.3% $14,005,588 7/28/13
South Korea Warner Bros. 7/11/13 $8,349,956 47.4% $17,623,549 7/28/13
Russia - CIS Karo 7/11/13 $8,925,667 53.3% $16,738,779 7/21/13

You know what to do Guillermo.

 

[Senator Soufflé]

Pretty sweet. Though doesn't Del Toro have like another 20 projects to do first?

 

[enzo_gt]

Crimson Typhoon II confirmed.

HYPE

 

[numble]
