Thanks to pretty good overseas numbers the second G.I. Joe movie will make more money then the first one and will be a lot more profitable due to a smaller production budget and I'm guessing it had a smaller advertising budget also.

I seem to remember the first one needed at least 300 million just to break even, and that was not including Marketing. Which was probably handled with DVD sales. This one only cost like 135 million right? So 260-270 million, not including marketing should be fine. Anything else would be great! Like I said, I only watched a few minutes of it, I am a sucker for the Rock though. So maybe that is why I will enjoy it.

I'm pretty sure the first movie made money probably not as much that they hoped for but movies that don't make money usually don't get sequels.
