When do you guys think they will make an official announcement regarding whether or not they will go forward with the sequels? This franchise feels like its got a lot of money-making potential - obviously in the overseas markets, and I hope Warner Bros./Time Warner is smart enough to see that!
Apparently this is very good. The BO of sneak previews was 159% better than “Night at the Museum”.
The projected total $50M takes compares with:
“Spirited Away” = $229M
“Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix” = $80M
“Casino Royale” = $19M
“Eragon” = $15M
“Stardust” = $3M
“BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA” = $1.6M
I hope they make enough money and then do the two sequels! I am very determined to be Will in the film, but anyway if any of you guys here about when and where the auditions will be please tell me on davidsalethiometer@hotmail.com my username is Daviddatsme. Or just tell me on one of these comments, but not the bottom ones please!
