Yeah, he's a great guy. I hope the other cast members come to conventions near me soon so I can get all of them to sign it!
Whoa, that looks awesome! I'm happy I held off getting regular Gipsy now, 'cause this sucker's earned a spot on my shelf next to Striker!
NICE. I hope he comes back next year, and hopefully I'll have a Pacific Rim poster for him to sign. I really wanna see that autograph now. :lol
It should be over $400 million worldwide sometime in the next few days. Hopefully that number, along with the fact that the movie was well received by audiences and critics, will push it closer to the likelihood of the franchise continuing in the future.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Glad you liked it
Are you back in Japan, or something? Or is it just a visit?
Back in Japan.
I work for Playism now.
That's all I want. It's a fun super robot movie that begs for a franchise. There's so much not shown.

Yeah, my shirt was drenched waiting for my buddy to get to the theater. It was gross. The movie was worth it, though.
Yeah, most of the theaters here only have it on shitty screens.
It doesn't help that Gatchaman just came out here.
Any reason why?

No clue. Seems like the kind of movie that should be a shoe in here.

I've only seen a few in IMAX, but I feel like Pacific Rim was one of the best (if not the best) movie to see in IMAX 3D. The image/sound quality is insane. Everything sounded amazingly big and punchy given the scale, too.
I'm also amazed how varied they kept the Kaiju vocalizations while still making them sound monstrous and everything. Shout-outs to the old Godzilla SFX were great, too.

The flying Kaiju AKA "the one that showed up just in time to reveal Gipsy's got chainswords" started sounding like Gamera when it got its wings out. :lol

Pacific Rim is oh so close to $100M domestic and $400 worldwide. It stands a chance to get to both by next weekend.

Its still showing in some of the theaters here in China (but I think I missed the last of the IMAX 3D's last weekend..), I think I'm gonna catch this one last time before it leaves the cinema. Though I'm disappointed I can't watch it in IMAX 3D again, its just not the same on a regular screen...
true dat brah!
seriously though pacific rim has been the best experience ive had in an Imax thus far. i really wanted to try out the D-box, maybe when that sequel hits

This looks much better than their Gipsy Danger, but I'm not a big fan of statues. I wish 3A would jump on this license, it fits their style perfectly. Don't know why they're wasting their time with those Real Steel robots.

That reminds me, where are the toys? Not the $400 bucks toys, but the $30/$40 dollar toys. They could easily earn more money with merchandising.

I thought that was the 400 dollar one. Didn't know it was a regular toy.
The Neca toys are pretty meh, though. Build quality is bad and the paint job is atrocious. Plus, I hate how they force you to buy so many variants.

Neca has the toy line, about $15-20 a figure.
Also, they have a 18inch Gipsy and Knifehead planned.
I WANTS THE BLU-RAY! GIMME WB
I thought they look good. They're more for play than display. You could check out the 18" Gypsy which is more high quality from pics I've seen.

Figurines are one thing, toys are another. WB has a great toy franshise on their hands if they can just license it out to be playable toys. I dont get why it's taking them so long... They playsets would practically sell themselves: The Jaegers, the Kaijus, different color/weapon style-jaegers, different shatterdomes hq sets...
Yeah, seems like it's one thing to make an unproven IP a success but they can't even organize a well working money milking machinery anymore. It's like they forgot how to.

WE DID IT!
Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures Pacific Rim Crosses $400 Million Worldwide
Guillermo del Toros widely praised action adventure Pacific Rim has crossed $400 million dollars at the worldwide box office, becoming the directors highest grossing film ever. The announcement was made today by Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, President, International Distribution and Dan Fellman, President, Domestic Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures; and Legendary Pictures.
Internationally, Pacific Rim is still in release in a number of territories and has grossed $302 million thus far. In China alone, the film is the biggest of any Warner Bros. Pictures release ever and the fifth-biggest MPA film gross in Chinas cinema history. The films record-breaking release in China also furthers Legendarys growing presence in the territory.
The worldwide performance of Pacific Rim is a clear testament to the quality and originality of Guillermos world-building, said Jon Jashni, President and Chief Creative Officer, Legendary Entertainment. We are pleased that audiences continue to respond so passionately.
From Moscow to Beijing, Pacific Rim has captivated critics and audiences alike in markets all over the world, and become a box office juggernaut, Kwan Vandenberg said. Congratulations to Guillermo, his cast and crew, and our partners at Legendary for this exciting benchmark.
Fellman added, Critics and early screening audiences were the first to love Pacific Rim and its exciting to watch the whole world follow suit. We congratulate Guillermo and his team on both sides of the camera, as well as Legendary, for the tremendous success of this film around the globe.
From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes the sci-fi action adventure Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures Pacific Rim.
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanitys resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are synched via a neural bridge, called The Drift. But as the enemy grows more powerful with each attack, even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju.
On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroesa washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)who are teamed to drive a seemingly obsolete Jaeger. Together, they stand as mankinds last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
Pacific Rim stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Rob Kazinsky, Max Martini, Clifton Collins, Jr., Burn Gorman, and Ron Perlman.
Oscar® nominee Guillermo del Toro (Pans Labyrinth) directed the film from a screenplay by Travis Beacham and del Toro, story by Beacham. Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, del Toro and Mary Parent produced the film, with Callum Greene serving as executive producer and Jillian Share Zaks co-producing.
Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures present a Legendary Pictures/DDY Production, a Guillermo del Toro film. The film has been released in 2D and 3D in select theaters and IMAX®, and is being distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. This film has been rated PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence throughout, and brief language.

Just watched the movie with some friends yesterday, it was not a big room (probably 30 seats), they were a couple, and other 3 guys with the 6 of us in the audience, but the screen, quality, and seats were pretty nice.
One of the most fun Ive had in the movies in a long time.
We were as excited as little kids when we got out of the cinema.
So many love by Guillermo was pured into the movie, this things have to be applauded, but sadly people seem to prefer atrocious movies to this one.
So yeah, we lfucking loved the movie.
The only negative aspect I have is that the Russians

The success of this movie kind of mirrors the story of Gypsy Danger. The underdog that comes out on top.
Great news. It is in line with what most of us were thinking it would do. I see it also picked up in Japan a bit after the disappointing first weekend.
Hopefully this gives Legendary some reasons to develop a strong franchise. After the great success in China I don't see how they don't at least consider it.

Yeah but even if it didn't hit 400, Blu-ray and digital sales would have helped tremendously.
I tried to help. I saw it three times and brought friends. Would have been four but all the IMAX theaters stopped showing it.
Great news on passing $400. Already pre-ordered the Blu-Ray, but still waiting on my artbook.
