So I see Robocop is doing decent business

I heard good things about the movie, maybe they might do a sequel now

Why would anybody spend money to go see Son of God?
You saw for it free on TV and now you'll pay to see it on the big screen?

Loved by the critics, audiences and makes a billion $? Yep, sounds like crap to me. :-p

Other than a handful of people here, I haven't heard anything good about Robocop.

I loved Frozen. Although I prefer Tangled in some ways.
Frozen was awesome and I'm sure it'll win the Oscar (as it should)

It's too bad more of the general audience isn't familiar with Miyazaki. His work deserves to make more at the box office.

I simply just don't get any enjoyment out of these animated movies anymore. Probably due to age I guess. Robocop was great, loved it. However, do not follow the formulas of the originals for the sequels.

Only animated film that should get an Oscar is The Lego Movie.

The Wind Rises is a pretty good competition

Same. I only enjoyed the Lego movie because I grew up with legos. Anything else is pot.

Only time I heard about Frozen other than this is an article on IGN talking about how 'Nymphomaniac' will have a trailer before it.

Frozen should use that as an attention grabbing headline.

Op, you can't say two different things are awesome on this site. People will tear you a new one.

RoboCop definitely deserves a sequel. It's at $187M worldwide and I think it needs to clear about $250M (which it can) to earn it.

Frozen sucked?!? It was an amazing movie, one of the best from Disney! Not the typical princess movie with the love story and everything.

Let it goooo let it gooo can't hold it back anymore

Do you want to build a snowman? Come on let's go and play!

Can't wait for Idina Menzel to sing Let It Go at the Oscars today!!

Wow. I thought you only talk shit about your comicbook company competition, but you talk shit about everything. That's lame, you haven't seen the movies but you talk bad about them.

Lego movie was great but in other countries no one understood the jokes (or the voices were not that good) so it won't make a lot of money.

Fun Fact
They originally wanted to name the reindeer Thor instead of Sven, but they had to change his name after the Avengers.

Reindeers are better than people, Sven don't you think that's true??

Robo Cop is a pretty decent movie & definitely worth checking out. A sequel is going to be tough for this movie with its current box office numbers. As the article says it’s at 136M overseas which has pretty much carried the box office of this movie (51M in the US) although that is pretty much how the box office goes these days (overseas about 70% of BO).

I doubt it is going to reach 70M in the US but if it continues really strong overseas there may be a slight chance for a sequel. However, those overseas numbers are going to need to pump in about another 150M – 200M in addition to the current 136M Robo Cop has in the books. With a 100M budget & unknown millions in advertising a worldwide total of 350M – 400M is going to be needed for a sequel. Right now it’s at 187M worldwide.

Remake jokes aside, Robocop was a good flick. I'd pay to see a sequel. But the rumor is it has to do about $250 mill for that to happen. Fingers crossed.

Disney prints money. Frozen is a good movie and will win the Oscar this year.
TheAmericanPatriot
TheAmericanPatriot - 3/2/2014, 12:44 PM
The Robocop reboot is not getting a sequel, that movie is doing terrible at the Box Office. Frozen, Iron Man 3, Thor 2, Monster's U...yeah Disney prints their own money. They just need to find a way to get Spidey, the X-Men, and the F4 back. They also just need to hurry up and buy up Hasbro. You know you want to buy them up Disney, you tried in the past.

Robocop flopped in the US but countries like China love our bad movies like Iron Man 3.
