Battleship 2012 was a major blockbuster, with a budget of over $200 million. However, a second movie never came to fruition – here's why.
Even though Universal and Hasbro Studios' 2012 blockbuster Battleship was a huge investment for the company, plans for Battleship 2 and an extended franchise never came to fruition. The movie boasted a gargantuan budget of between $209-$220 million and stars including Taylor Kitsch, Liam Neeson, and Rihanna. And yet, despite having all the hallmarks of a franchise launchpad, the movie failed to kickstart a successful Battleship series.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Battleship Was A Box Office Failure For Universal Pictures The primary reason that Battleship 2 never happened was the first movie's failure at the box office. Against its $220 million budget, the movie only made around $303 million globally. Since most estimates suggest that a film has to make around two-and-a-half times its budget in order to be financially successful, Battleship fell well short of profitability.
