Red Mask said:Really? You didn't read the news where the B.P.R.D. will fight against an army of faeries?
AVEITWITHJAMON said:So, there is still the slight possibility that this may not get off the ground. I really hope they get to make this sequel.
monkeygust said:I have no doubt the film will happen. The real question is whether or not this will be picked up soon enough to be his next film.
TheVileOne said:But you know, the studio has a point, a movie like that, starring Ron Perlman, probably shouldn't cost $90 million. The movie itself didn't even make $60 million in the US alone.
monkeygust said:Has anyone said the sequel would be 90 million? It should most likely cost around the same amount as the last film. Maybe, hopefully a little more.
Hellmistress said:It just fell shy of it, but the film has done very well both internationally and in DVD sales, which isn't bad considering the appalling marketing for the film outwith the U.S. It wasn't a huge hit, but it did very well and certainly surprised the studios that it was as popular as it turned out to be. And the buzz is certainly good for the sequel.

TheVileOne said:It did ok internationally. Didn't exactly double the domestic gross.
I'd say the marketing for the movie was pretty strong as well. Appalling is rather stretching it.
Hellmistress said:It was okay if you lived in the States. Here in the UK the film opened 5 MONTHS after it opened Stateside. The marketing was okay once it got under way, but the whole thing smacked of cold feet on the part of the distributors, and talking to a few folks 'in the know' at the premiere screening in London (August 2004) they thought so too. I owned the 2-disc region 1 DVD before the film was even released here. Most of Europe and our antipodean colleagues were in the same boat, with some of them getting the film even later than that. Lunacy, and GdT agreed with me. The 3-disc Director's cut was only released here a few weeks ago.
