I think Pacific Rim would of been a fun choice

 

[quinnmac000]

There is only one option that works for a theme park setting that would be fresh hip and fun...Scott Pilgrim.

In that case everyone would be *****ing about screens

I can't think of any other live action universal IPs lol

 

[Ryan]

We already have Transformers.

 

[WebHead1138]

Are the Star Trek rumors dead?

 

[Ryan]

Yes.

Just to touch on popularity of the IPs, (not necessarily how well they translate to a theme park attraction):

per Box Office Mojo; U.S. gross ticket sales adjusted for inflation

1. Terminator 2 (1991) = $435M
2. Skyfall (2012) = $338M
   
3. Bourne Ultimatum (2007) = $295M
4. Bourne Supremacy (2004) = $253M
5. Die Another Day (2002) = $246M
   
6. Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) = $240M
   
7. Casino Royale (2006) = $227M
   
8. Terminator 3 (2003) = $223M
9. The World Is Not Enough (1999) = $222M
   
10. GoldenEye (1995) = $218M
    
11. Quantum of Solace (2008) = $209M
    
12. Spectre (2015) = $205M
    
13. Bourne Identity (2002) = $187M
14. Jason Bourne (2016) = $170M
    
15. Terminator Salvation (2009) = $150M
16. Bourne Legacy (2012) = $130M
17. A View to a Kill (1985) = $127M
    
18. The Living Daylights (1987) = $117M
    
19. The Terminator (1984) = $101M
20. Terminator: Genisys (2015) = $97M
21. License to Kill (1989) = $78M

Since 1984 each IP has averaged:

• Bourne = $207M
  
• Bond = $202M
  
• Terminator = $201M

Since 2007 each IP has averaged:

• Bond = $251M
  
• Bourne = $198M
  
• Terminator = $124M

I do think the Bond franchise is more relevant but, I wouldn't go as far as to call Bourne a not very well known IP.

I get what point you are making and don't disagree, but you have to be careful using box office numbers. Especially adjusted for inflation. Things have changed so much in the box office that movies from different eras don't really compare. A lot of movies high on the list(including T2) were released multiple times. And those charts count all of the sales as though they were from their original release date, so it skews the inflation numbers. Also, back in the day, going to the movies was huge. People would go see movies multiple times as there was no tv or, later on, no easy way to watch them at home. Now, you can download a movie at home before it's out of theaters and have as good if not better quality than there too. People skip theaters completely now.

I do agree with your conclusion about Bond and Bourne though.

Bourne is heavily deflating as a franchise, however. Damon coming back only barely increased the amount of the fifth film.

 

[shiekra38]

It's all about brand recognition...I think 007 is the strongest "brand"

 

[DK745]

Also Schwarzenegger coming back did nothing for Genisys.

 

[Frank Drackman]

Terminator...Avatar....I imagine it has nothing to do with anything, but why continue to support someone who went with the compition?

 

[tankart150]

They should’ve just rebooted Terminator 3d for 2019.
On the other hand, could the replacement be Back to the Future? What about that coaster rumor from 2015? Was it delayed to allow Terminator Genisys time in the box office? Or was it fan wishing and not an actual project?

 

[Ryan]

Also Schwarzenegger coming back did nothing for Genisys.

To be fair, I'm not arguing for Terminator vs Bourne. I think T2:3D had to go. But Bourne is not the right decision.

 

[captainmoch]

Is it bad that I'd rather have Sing than Bourne? Because at this point I'd rather have Sing than Bourne.

 

[Mike S]

Also Schwarzenegger coming back did nothing for Genisys.

He was literally the only good thing about that movie. I had the misfortune of seeing that train wreck in theaters.

 

[Andysol]

Terminator is now also a joke of a franchise.

Compared to Bourne, Terminator is a flippin Monet.

Is it bad that I'd rather have Sing than Bourne? Because at this point I'd rather have Sing than Bourne.

I would too. Or Trolls. I actually think both would do well and be better received. And trolls merch would bank.

Bourne is dumb- more appeal for teenage boys. Just what UOR was lacking... They should probably find a place to put a Fast and the Furious attraction while they’re at it.

I'm embarrassed to say I also much prefer that idea. With Buster Keaton and others via AA and the rest of the performers on stage via musion/hologram tech.

Looks like MGM is keeping Bond. Just made a deal with Annapurna...
