One of the actors mentions that a third film is being talked about

I can see both sides to this. One problem is Cars 2's negative reception among adults could cause just an announcement of a Cars 3 to cause an extreme amount of bad publicity for PIXAR and for people to swear them off completely (which is ridiculous because they are still making other films). On the other hand, Cars merchandising is still huge. Gigantic. Every little kid I know has Cars merchandise. Cars Land which opened in 2012 is also hugely popular. Also, despite what people, say John Lasseter and the people at PIXAR are huge fans of the whole Cars world and are car enthusiasts so they would probably be willing to do another one. You can see this from the making of material (the book the art of Cars 2 and the documentaries on the Blu ray)

Cars 2 was also thought of as a mistake for Pixar because Cars was very badly received compared to their previous movies so they might as well go for Cars 3. I don't find it that shocking. I'd be more shocked if it didn't happen. It will pay off. We can think of it as Pixar's sellout franchise anyway.

this will never happen, the actor who said is a nobody. Pixar has never commented on it, and it looks really unlikely.

they didn't comment on it one way or another, but when you think of the facts involved, it makes sense

the first Cars was not badly received by audiences (it had a 4 multiplier and outgrossed other PIXAR films). Only the second one, so there could still be some good will there

It had a very favorable release date though. It was the only animated movie that summer basically. It had no competition for at least a month and a half.

EDIT: And family audiences will go for anything (Planes!?!?!?!?)

Perception wise? No.
Business wise? Yes.
Reputation wise? No.

There's no doubt that it would still make $150+ mil and bring in TONS of merchandising. But with so many other projects currently being worked on, I don't see it happening.

doesn't change the fact that the first film was mostly liked. Also other PIXAR films have had favorable release dates too

But Brave and MU were thoroughly mediocre... so Pixar might as well embrace mediocrity at this point...and go for the $$$

You're thoroughly mediocre.

Pfft, Brave wasn't mediocre at all!
Though I agree it wasn't considerably (=5%+ difference) hurt by Cars 2 - its story and characters just didn't have much appeal.

It'd be wise and profitable if they bring it back to nascar racing. They'll make BILLIONS in merchandise alone

It would not be wise in any way, shape or form.

I could see Toy Story 4 happening before Cars 3.

You stole my words. And Cars is also one of the best selling DVDs of all time, that achievement is far from being considered "badly received"

Come on _axiom, you used to be cool and a loyal pixar fan

They won't coment anything until they feel ready 'cause their films take like 6 years to make

There's a difference between a fan and a fool.

You already exemplify the latter, but here's to confirmation, _axiom can't be cool because he doesn't support Cars 3. The choice of word, the mentality, oh you poor dear.

Fans are not sheep that follow blindly. Are you 14? You act like those on other forums who cannot take a single bad word , no matter it's veracity, be it movies, books, sports, politics etc. This is one of the growing problems of society- being unable to think critically. Keep drinking the Kool-Aid Brian. Hope you wake up some day.

It won't be good for Pixar brand and given the bad reception from Cars 2 I doubt this will make TOO much money theatrically. The only thing that is going for them is merchandise which are still selling fine without movies. I wouldn't risk diluting the brand name for Cars franchise but let's see what Pixar does.

I loved the detail of roof tiles during the race in Rome in Cars 2. But that's the best thing about the movie unfortunately. Anyway I think I gave Cars an A back then. I don't think I bothered to even write a review for Cars 2 though. All I'm saying is that obviously kids love Cars and eat it up. Which is why Cars 3 should happen (and why I would be shocked if it didn't, after all Pixar is a Hollywood studio and it's all about the $$$). But then again, Pixar has really hurt its image with both Cars and Cars 2. Those two movies kinda undid their "God" status in the animation department for the critics and older audiences I think and it won't be easy to reclaim it.

lol, Are you 3 years old?, learn to read!

I didn't even mention or defend Cars 3 in any of the posts of this thread; if you read closely, you will realize that I made a statement for the first film

And let me tell you: you don't talk critically, you just talk garbage against what you think it's bad. Being hypocrite and cynic are also growing problems of society, and the few posts I've read from you are evidence of that.

Go and throw your shit in a different thread against me, not even gonna bother read your reply

Hope you wake up right now, it urges you

I honestly think it is a matter of time. Remember, it is not just the merchandising. It is also Cars Land which is hugely successfuly and It is also the fact that these movies are John Lasseter's pet projects. If he wants to make another one it is likely going to happen

*insert Bradley complaining because*

Well, whatever, really at this point.

I'd forgotten Finding Dory is already in production about something resembling Sea World.

Was getting excited about Inside Out after reading the article in the Cinemania forum. Hopefully that's a gem that it sounds like.

What's better news? Brad Bird's back for The Incredibles 2. FUCK YEAH!
