variety, deadline and assorted movie business websites desperately trying to kill pacific rim. posts are on many of these sites are deleted everyday as part of this campaign. box office stats are late, and emanate from one site. the film has not been a financial failure like lone ranger and ripd already, but is still presented as such even though it has not even opened fully worldwide. This malicious campaign based on politics, race, and greed symptomizes American world views, which are not shared by the characters in Pacific rim. Hollywood has shot itself in the foot probably for the last time with this campaign.

According to Box Office Mojo, the movie has already made $228M from both foreign and domestic. That's profit, right?

The studio cut from China is 25% (assuming they ever get it–China's been withholding payments all year because of the studios' refusal to pay a tax that they claim violates an existing Sino-U.S. agreement). So WB is claiming a sequel hinges on whether they make $12m from China (probably the bare minimum they could count on, even STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS did better than that) or $20m (probably the ceiling)? This sounds like a face-saving maneuver.

No way this movie deserves a sequel. Great fx but appalling script, characterisation with some moments so eye-wateringly, embarrassingly bad it could almost be a spoof of a blockbuster, rather than an actual one.

Still, at least I now know that a machine powered by a nuclear reactor is analogue, not digital.

Pacific Rim was a poor movie. Of the 3 action scenes, the 2nd one was the best. The last one was boring. In between those 3 scenes, the acting was terrible, the dialogue was woeful & the father/son tender moment was unintentionally funny. Reminded me when Bruce Willis cried in Armageddon. Hopefully money won't be wasted on a sequel.

Pacific Rim rocked. If there is a sequel, I am totally on board!

$9 million on a Wednesday opening day should be more than a tiny dent. The Wolverine opened in the US with $4 million.

Would WB be in charge of an eventual sequel? I thought it was Legendary pics.
