Pacific Rim, Godzilla and Kong Skull Island are all made by Legendary Pictures. They are all distributed by Warner Brothers.
Pacific Rim was successful enough to get a sequel, Godzilla was successful enough to get a sequel. They all feature giant monsters.
Why on Earth is Pacific Rim not apart of this whole Godzilla and Kong Kong shared Universe? It is a perfect fit.
How are they going to have three similar, successful, recent movies made by the same production companies and not give us a movie featuring a three way slug fest between Gypsy Danger, Godzilla and King Kong?

Yeah I'm for real. A movie about Giant Robots taking on Kaiju should be a part of the other two movies by the same production company that involve....Kaiju.

I wondered the same thing.
For fun, I wrote a story where the people running the Jaeger program were shaking down countries for protection money from Kaijus.
However, there's was one country that wouldn't pay.
Japan.
Why?
Because they have Godzilla, and he kicks the ass of any Kaijus that come around.
So, the Jaegers lure a group of Kaijus toward the island of Japan under the guise of getting Godzilla's assistance.
Instead, they let him twist in the wind, and Godzilla gets messed up.
The only reason Godzilla isn't killed outright, is because Mako and Raleigh break ranks to protect Godzilla. The result is that Gypsey Danger II is badly damaged, and they have to escape from the other Jaegers and make it to a secret hideout relayed to them by Hannibal Chou.
There's more, but you get the idea...

That sounds really good actually. I wonder how you could tie King Kong in with that though.

Doesn't stop people from caring about those movies too. If nobody cared there'd be no sequel.

Good question as that was the original plan. The answer: because Pacific Rim bombed. |

The answer: because Pacific Rim bombed. $400 million is a lot of movies for even if it did disappoint they could have still used it anyway as that would only draw in more people. The Incredible Hulk didn't particularly make a lot of movie compared to Iron Man, Thor and Captain America but they still ended up using him and people liked him. |

Pacific Rim did not make $400 million it made $101 million and $101 million is *not* a lot of money when your budget in $190 million. That makes Pacific Rim a bomb. The Incredible Hulk is another bomb. They did *not* make another Hulk movie. |

Over double it's budget which is why it's getting a sequel unlike Hulk. Godzilla only made $529 million in self and Kong might even make that much yet. They aren't leagues a part. |

I didn't say Godzilla bombed. Pacific Rim didn't bomb either or it would never have had a sequel. Godzilla was also very frontloaded because nobody likes it. People did at least like Pacific Rim. |

They aren't leagues a part. $101 million is *not* "over double its budget" it is far *less* than it's budget. $101 million < $190 million. Look at this another way: $101 million < $380 million ($190 million * 2). You *get* it now ? |

No actually I don't...I'm wondering why you are pretending that it's domestic gross was it's only gross and why you're ignoring the other $300+ million it made internationally. $411 million > $380 million = $190 million x 2. Ergo over double it's budget. |
