Two More PACIFIC RIM Posters Released; Legendary's Thomas Tull On Box Office Tracking

Speaking with Shock Till You Drop, Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull is asked about the buzz surrounding Pacific Rim's box office tracking. The Guillermo del Toro-helmed epic is said to be not doing such a great job in early tracking (despite the director saying that it's improving), with audiences reportedly being more interested in seeing Grown Ups 2 that weekend. A big surprise for one of this summer's most highly anticipated films. However, Tull still recommends seeing Pacific Rim, saying that those who have seen it love it. "Audiences that have seen the movie, love the movie. I think in our core audiences and, sort of, the fanboy groups that want to see the movie...we have seen tracking wildly on all of our movies so, at this point, all we can say to audiences is if you go see this movie, you're going to love it and you're going to tell your friends - that's all we can do. The other stuff, it has almost become like sporting events. Every weekend, it's so wildly reported on and now even opining about tracking, which is kind of weird to me. I can tell you, when I was a kid and Star Wars came out, I wasn't like, 'I don't know, the trailer looks cool, but the tracking sucks.' I don't know what that is." Additionally, the film's official Facebook page posted two more promo posters, featuring the Jaeger 'Striker Eureka' and the Kaiju 'Leatherback'.
