A risk that ultimately paid out for everyone involved.The two planned sequels to hit movie The Golden Compass have become Hollywood's first major victims of the current economic crisis - production on the movies has been put on hold indefinitely. However, DVD sales were so strong that Warner took a risk and financed a sequel by giving Nolan total creative control and an even bigger budget. The film's budget was close to the final domestic gross of the film. If Silberling went to Paramount and told him he could do a sequel that cost around $80 million, Paramount may be more willing to start round two.įlip side, use Batman Begins. If Cameron and Lightstorm allowed Fox and Paramount to go ahead with a sequel with/without their involvement, that flick would've been fast-tracked into production.Ī film like Lemony Snicket didn't get a sequel as it was a financial disappointment both domestically and internationally. But the first movie didnt match the financial expectations of the studio, so they. Using Titanic as a reference, if Cameron told Paramount that he would do Titanic 2 for $100 million in unmarked small bills Paramount would have the bags of cash delivered to his door by the end of that day. The sequel of the Golden Compass would be called The Subtle Knife. 99% of the time, a sequel will cost more to produce as the cast and crew's stake in the film is worth more. The right resources can't be put into place to get it out of pre-production or that none of the original cast and/or crew want anything to do with it meaning the studio is less willing to invest. As if that is going to draw a bigger crowd so they can justify making a sequel if it does better with the hanging ending.Some of the times, sequels don't happen to films that made money for other reasons. It makes not one solitary difference how a movie ends that determines if they make a sequel (and if Titanic wasn't based on a real event, but entirely a fictional movie about a disaster, I bet we would have seen a sequel), which is why it's even more confusing on why they seem to want to do these forced type hanging endings anyway. You know if they could have pulled off a Titanic sequel they would have in a heartbeat. $$$ is the ONLY thing Hollywood cares about. While I'd love sequels to Big Trouble in Little China and Buckaroo Banzai the time for that has come and gone.

Fuck, I'm still shocked it was able to pull in $75 million domestically.
#GOLDEN COMPASS 2 MOVIE RELEASE DATE PLUS#
Butchering the film plus a terrible release date (early December) are just some of the many reasons it failed.Īnd people are really clamoring for an Eragon sequel? The source material is shit, so what does one expect when the adaptation is shit? Doesn't help that matters at all that it was produced by a studio that has been ran into the ground by it's chairman, a first time director, and a crew with no imagination or creativity. If visual effects were never finished for that footage, it may be a tough decision as it may cost a significant amount to complete that footage for a release that may not do well at all. It all depends on how far the crew got finished with the footage.
#GOLDEN COMPASS 2 MOVIE RELEASE DATE TV#
Wonder if Warner will pull a Sony move (re: The Da Vinci Code) and release The Golden Compass Extended Cut on Blu-ray.Considering New Line as an individual company is no more, it may be a possibility depending if Warner wants to invest the time and money into it. His Dark Materials season 2 release date: when we expect to see it While Covid-19 put much of the world’s movie and TV production on hold, His Dark Materials season 2 has managed to get through.
