A movie about giant robots fighting giant monsters sounds awesome on paper, but the highest of high concepts wasn’t enough to turn Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim into the broad, crowd-pleasing global success story that many people were expecting it to be.
In fact, the $150 million blockbuster would have bombed hard at the box office were it not for a strong showing in China, which accounted for $111 million of the total $411 million theatrical haul. Thanks largely to Pacific Rim‘s performance in the country, which was helped by production company Legendary Pictures being purchased by Chinese Wanda Group, a sequel was announced in early 2016.
