PoC movie? There's a Pursuit of Cobra movie?
Joe has bandwagoners? If it bombs, chances of that being good for the Joe band in anyway is very slim.

The movie won't bomb, but I think the toy line has a chance to.

The price point for production of of new Joes will have little to do with how the movie does, plastic costs the same regardless if the movie is a big success or not.

Yeah, the POC movie is between ROC and the 30th anniversary movies.
I'm hoping Retaliation will be everything we want it to be.

Retaliation, I hope it is a success. We need something to bring interest back into the franchise. If it bombs like "John Carter" did, well lets just say, I don't want to think about what will happen.

Yeah, I was wondering why Disney chose not to make any John Carter toys. Then I read the reviews and saw that Disney is taking a $200 million loss, and realized why. As for toy tie-in flops, Green Lantern has got to win the prize for epic failure.

"John Carter" was actually a good movie though. It was doomed though because of bad trailers. In todays society of instant judgement and short attention spans, that's all that it takes. The same thing happened to "Green Lantern" last year and it was not as bad as people said. "Thor" was much worse, and it did okay.
Luckily, the trailers and clips for "Retaliation" have been pretty good so far and they're capitalizing on the fact that the Rock and Bruce Willis are in it. The two of those, plus ninjas and one of the best possible opening dates should do wonders for the movie. |

The movie bombing has no bearing on why toys weren't made as the toys would have been complete and on the shelves prior to the movie coming out (and bombing).

You're absolutely right. But I wonder why Disney didnt make any toys for the movie? I still want to see John Carter because I read some of the books back when I was in school.
