Long-range projections have Pacific Rim Uprising pulling in pretty modest numbers in its opening weekend at the domestic box office. According to BoxOffice Pro, the sequel to Guillermo del Toro's 2013 monsters vs robots epic will be in the $20 million range during its first three days in theatres.
Pacific Rim Uprising will be released on March 22, between the releases of two other action movies: Tomb Raider and Ready Player One. This stiff springtime competition is projected to cut into Uprising's box office gross.
The first Pacific Rim grossed over $37 million in its opening weekend, below expectations for a movie that cost $190 million to make. However, the international box office helped make the movie profitable, as more than three-quarters of its $411 million worldwide gross came from outside North America.
Pacific Rim Uprising was partly filmed in China, and the film was made with the international audience in mind. The studio hopes to make a large chunk of its profits in China as well.
too bad it won't even be allowed to be viewed in China because of the urban influence
Daniel Jones
Good, everything I've heard about the sequel sounds shitty.
James Taylor
Warcaft should of gotten a sequel instead. Fuck this movie ruining everything from the original pacific rim.

John Boyega and his production company. It's a jerk-off role for a mediocre actor.

How do we stop Boyega?

Hunter Flores
Loved Pacific Rim to pieces but I dunno if I'm even going to see thing. Losing Del Toro as director means his unique eye for visuals is gone, plus the jaegers don't move right anymore.
>We've got better upgrades. The robots are moving much more swift. Yeah, we're like ballerinas up in there, it's fantastic. NO YOU FUCKERS Pacific Rim was fantastic because they moved with the weight and inertia to sell that these were gargantuan, massive machines and beasts. When you turn them all into generic mechs that dance around like Iron Man and shoot them head-on in flat daylight you lose everything that made the original look great!
Aiden Robinson
Nothing makes me happier. The original PR was shit

Why would anyone expect a sequel nobody wants to a film that barely broke even in the first place to do anything but horrible?

I unironically look forward to this movie and think it will do gangbusters in China
Landon Long
Yes my child, we're aware the canon term is artificial human Evangelion, but they're fucking giant anime robots, and nothing will change this

Blake Hernandez
I've heard this BUT I GOTTA GET IT ON TILL I DIE in 3 trailers for 3 different movies what the fuck is going on?
Julian Perry
Who knows, but either way making him front and center in the movie is going to tank this in China. TFA and TLJ have proved they DO NOT LIKE HIM.
Jonathan Gonzalez
And CHYNA is the only reason a sequel is getting made, lest you forget. So this fucker is going to bomb.
Jackson Williams
hopefully it bombs and they stop putting nigs in movies
Nolan Allen
honestly the rap music bothered me more than boydega
Nicholas Murphy
Pacific Rim fucking sucks. People like the IDEA of this movie, but the reality is unwatchable.
Logan Nelson
This is correct. The first one flopped in the US relative to its budget.
Jason Roberts
keep crying bitch duncan is shit and so was this movie HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ayden Reed
Part of the issue is probably the long wait, why did this take 5 years to get made? Sequel turnaround nowadays is 2 years, 3 tops.
Plus whatever happened to that animated series Del Taco promised me? They should have had something going in between to keep the brand name out there in the public awareness
Isaac King
>no chink token girl Rinko is in it.
Adrian Rogers
as a lead or as token of a token?
Brandon Scott
This looks unironically fun.
Zachary Hill
Lest we forget the first one bombed HARD domestically too. China's the only reason this is got made, and the only market they care about.
Nolan Price
Senpai role I think, taking over Idris Elba's job.
Eli Watson
I'm gonna mis raleigh and his le club face
Leo Brown
They also only worked for a minute at a time.
Josiah James
WHY DONT THESE ASSHOLES JUST FUCK OFF TO CHINA AND MAKE THEIR SHIT MOVIES THERE?
I mean really, who the fuck wanted or asked for this shit tier movie? If the answer is Chinese people, just make a Chinese release and stop punishing Americans with these loud unwatchable shit storms of movies!
Gad dang it it's a Chinese normie faggot
Cameron Torres
Will this be the final nail in Boyega’s career’s coffin? I liked him back when he was a weird British character actor but he’s the worst attempt to force a black lead actor in a decade maybe barring Jaden Smith. Guy needs to sit down and be humble for a change.
Juan Rivera
Those are cyborgs, not robots.
Jason Cook
nothing was lost
Austin Wood
I for one welcome our chink overlords.
Noah Turner

Logan Brown
At least he's using his native Brit accent this time around.
Carter Jackson
>“As you know, Pacific Rim 1 ended with Stacker Pentecost [played by Idris Elba] dying, and Raleigh [played by Charlie Hunnam] dying as well, and they feel like they’ve closed the Breach, but unfortunately the enemy has grown more intelligent and has other ways of doing things, and we are met with a rogue character,” Boyega told IGN. I fucking hate this faggot.
Thomas Johnson
>and Raleigh [played by Charlie Hunnam] dying as well BUT RALEIGH DIDN'T DIE AT THE END OF THE FIRST MOVIE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Gabriel Smith
>rum >the color of piss must be some real shit rum.
Cooper Bennett
stop casting niggers as main roles
Logan Murphy
What the fuck didn't Raleigh survive the end of PR?
Carson White
You may be right, but I feel like they hated the character more than the actor. Jon Boyega playing some sputtering, quipping retarded coward is not playing to his strengths. He's got charisma, hopefully he can use it in this film -- will it be enough to put him back into China's good graces? I'm hopeful, even with TLJ's damage to his name.
Kayden Kelly
GEET IT ON TILL EYE DIEE
Colton Brooks
Wow, the first movie would have bombed had it now been for China saving it. Make a sequel starring a black man who Chinese think are ugly and hate for getting the chinese girl in TLJ

yeah, I don't fucking understand how this liberal group think can go as far as making hollywood deliberately losing fucking millions just in favor of virtue signalling, i can't to this day wrap my head around. look at fucking star wars, they made sure their toy lines would flop with this bland uninteresting characters we see being shilled in their movies, star wars used to make millions and millions with this division alone and now they are all on clearence for 1 buck or less...what the fuck, this is a business!!!!
Joshua Reyes
It's not even that they cast a black man, they cast Boyega who got SPOOKED in TLJ. Too bad they cast him before they knew how bad TLJ would do in China. Now I want to see a Chinese trailer, I bet they don't even show him.
Jonathan James

Jaxson King

They will show him in the trailer, but they will make it seem as if Eastwood is the main character, and they sure as hell won't have him as the main character on the poster (unless they hide the face).

i'm still going to go see it, but i have no expectations for it to be any good
Justin Rivera
peed my pants a little desu
Benjamin Gray
Obviously. It completely destroyed the artistic vision of the first PR. Now they move like fighting game characters, with none of the momentum of the first PR. The brightly lit areas make them look like shit. And the camera movement seems fake and artificial, whereas in the first PR it tended to be smooth or resemble a hovering news helicopters.
They shit on everything that made the first PR visually interesting.
Grayson Gonzalez
Yup. It's too late. They made Pacific Rim 2 long before TLJ came out.
Jordan Kelly
left : holy shit that below cosplay tier
Brody Lopez

Jeremiah Flores
Evas move with weight and momentum, and their movements are often shown with accompanying collateral damage.
Are you retarded?
Ryan Jenkins
What the fuck is even the point if they are fighting the same monsters again? >bu-but they can regenerate now!! Jesus fuck who the hell cares? Introduce some named monsters with a special origin or something. This is just the first film but it looks worse. Don't even get me started on the rap music in the trailers.
So when is Godzilla 2 again?
Jacob Cox
Samefag here, just looked it up. Apparently the monsters do have names in the first movie. Was I just not paying attention?
Jacob Martinez
The trailer looked awful, the Jaegers look like toys, and I don't like the whole "there's a traitor!" plot that will probably add more robot vs robot fights instead of kaiju action. I'm skipping this one, this seems like a cheap attempt to build a fanbase of children to sell toys
Luke Williams
>Movie is successful thanks to large foreign box office >Nig up the sequel
What is wrong with Jews? Did they start eating the same things they're feeding the goyim?
Adam Flores
The trailer looked beyond shit. Obviously lower budget and minority pandering.
Jack Diaz
>Apparently the monsters do have names in the first movie. Was I just not paying attention? They’re never named within the context of the movie.
