That's incredibly optimistic.

If Ninja Turtles can get more than one so can the Power Rangers.

It's kind of cute that you'd just assume that. Ninja Turtles made back more than the budget domestically, and did more than double in foreign markets reaching almost $500 million in total revenue. That's the ONLY reason it got a sequel.

Isn't that the ONLY reason most films get sequels?

Police Academy must have made trillions 

[Colly]

Nah, creative reasons for Police Academy. From day one it was planned as a long series of diminishing returns with fewer and fewer of the original cast, and they stayed true to that vision.

They planned it that way? Why?

Long term plan to prove LL wrong.

I'm being serious. I find it hard to believe that whoever thought the franchise up said "I'll make a great comedy and then I'll make lots of sequels that will get progressively worse until no one cares anymore": I know that a lot of franchises end up that way but I'm sure they don't plan it that way when they get started. Or was Colly just being sarcastic and I didn't get it?

His sarcasm is so advanced that people think he's thick >_>

I'm sure they must have made some money.

[Colly]

I'm afraid you just don't have the creative genius to appreciate quite how amazing the concept was.

Vardy's house is going to be TRASHED. His Mum will be PISSED.

Wrong thread; point still stands

Power Rangers suits

I think they look kinda cool...and also kinda like Iron Man

[Benji]

I guess the "Rita is an ex-Ranger" theory is true then.

[brenchill]

I like the revamped Ivan Ooze look as seen in the X-Men Apocalypse trailers.

Wait what?

Godzilla 2 has been set back to 2019, while Godzilla vs. King Kong is scheduled for 2020.

Assassins Creed trailer

It doesn't look terrible!  Also, I like that the release date is a reference to the games

[MalaCloudy Black]

John Carpenter's returning to the Halloween series to "course correct" it. He's not directing the next film, but producing and working closely with whoever is chosen as director. This will be his first direct involvement with a Halloween film since Halloween III in 1982.

[Hellraiser]

So will they do a reboot or a sequel? If it is the later, which movie will it be a sequel of? Or will they continue what Zombie started (highly unlikely)?

Too much of one color not broken up. Same reason I didn't like the Jungle Fury suits.

 

For comparison, the original MMPR
