Guillermo Del Toro's giant robot versus alien monsters movie, Pacific Rim, was a huge success in 2013, so Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull was clearly happy with these results. In a new interview with Collider, the CEO explained that a sequel to this epic film could happen, as long as "there's something to say"!
First, let's compare how Pacific Rim outgrossed a whole bunch of films that you wouldn't have thought it did. Thanks to Box Office Mojo, we can compare the Del Toro movie to other blockbusters and justify why a sequel makes sense!
Pacific Rim - $411 Million
Superman Returns - $391 Million
Star Trek (2009) - $385 Million
Batman Begins - $374 Million
X-Men - $296 Million
The Fast and the Furious - $207 Million
As you can see, the movie did incredibly well.
"We love being in business with Guillermo and frankly that movie, if you look it up, did I think more business than the first X-Men, did more than Batman Begins, our first movie, did more than Superman Returns, The Fast and the Furious, Star Trek- so for a movie that was an original property that we made up it's done really well. It did north of 400 million dollars globally and both the home video sales and the merchandise have way over-indexed, so it seems like fans really loved the world," Tull said. "So we're going to sit down with Guillermo and as long as we think it's authentic and there's something to say, we're certainly open to it."
