I had no idea Pokemon was bigger than Star Wars, wow.
Me neither, but I found out back in 2005 What's best is that it's all in continuity and we get past rangers that come back from time to time. |

I don't see why people are surprised. Prior to the Disney Star Wars movies, Star Wars was basically just 6 movies and comic books and novels and toys. And the prequel movies didn't come out for 15+ years after the originals.
Every mainline pokemon game averages 15-16 million copies at the minimum, the anime has aired continuously for over 20+ years, and all the tie in stuff like the TCG, merch, toys, plushes and spinoff games adds to this. It's pretty funny people think Pokemon is some fad that died out in the early 2000's, whereas it's remained tremendously popular for over 20+ years. |

I had no idea pokémon made more money than SW. Never even had thought about it. But it doesn't really matter, anyway. Both are juggernauts of pop culture. |

Not consistently. For a couple of years Saban threw in the towel because he saw sense. |

Not remotely. It lost about 50 million dollars.
The cost: 120 million dollar production budget 20 million dollar marketing budget (best guess, probably more) 140 cost, total What it made: 85 million domestically -- which comes to about 60 million after theater takes 57 internationally -- which comes to 28.5 or less, since international BO means only half or less profit to the studio Grand total gross profit: 142 million total Grand total net profit: -51.50 million

Another thing to note about Power Rangers is that unlike TMNT, DC, Marvel or other western franchises it continues to evolve. Since they are bound by Sentai and the Japanese are not as big on rebooting characters and prefer legacy they have to change the team almost every year. for the past 25 years.
You don't have different versions of Batman, you literally have new Red rangers with different powers and origins that tell their story and pass the torch to the next set of characters. How many of us would love to see our favorite heroes grow old and not just some elseworld tale that isn't canon. Quote:
Even Disney when they cancelled the show they still had "new" episodes with the "new" 2.0 remix of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers before the Saban deal and now with Hasbro acquiring we'll have a new season in 2019 right after the current season finishes airing later this year. So yeah, it's been continiously on the air with new episodes and if you don't count the 2.0 remaster of MMPR then it was only one year off and that was Disney not Saban. Quote:
I'm not trying to argue that MLP the movie wasn't a bomb, I'm just saying that there are other revenues/variables not considered in that post. I remember reading that the only reason they made Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li was because of all the money they kept making off the original live action movie that kept being re-broadcast years later. Of course making a huge investment like that they want to make sure they make a BIG profit or they won't bother again, but I do know Hasbro had been extremely happy with MLP:FiM, it's just been many years since it originally came out so it's no longer "it" like it used to be. |

My Little Pony: The Movie had a movie budget of almost $30 million, (everything including marketing) and grossed $60 million in total, backed by strong toy and DVD sales.

"Firstly, the budget for this film was tiny. Hasbro has declined to release any figures, but based on wide-ranging data for similar films – and the fact that it was financed in-house by Hasbro – it looks like a $5-8 million production. For comparison, The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature opened with almost the same amount yet that film cost $40M to produce." https://www.cartoonbrew.com/box-offi...ce-153918.html The writer however could be wrong. |

There was an insider source of from Hasbro revealing this upon the movie's launch, and I remember seeing it myself, but I'm not motivated enough to search for it again

Not really, they're closing since saban brands sold all their brands. Had the deal not gone through it'd still exist regardless.
Also I would not be a family of Power Rangers shared universe with Hasbro. But that's just me |
