Very glad to see Prometheus crack 400 million! Who knows how much better it could have done if it had received a better version in theaters?
What I really was curious about though is how much money do you think Prometheus will make from home video (blu-ray, dvd, digital downloads), toy licensing, and television distribution rights? Should that add another 50-100 million to the overall take? If so, I would hope that the studio would do their best to just sign Ridley for two more films and make it a trilogy leading all the way up to Alien.
Kinda torn if getting two more films might require PG-13 ratings though. I mean, I think Prometheus could have easily pulled off PG-13 because the Shaw scene really wasn't what Ridley made it out to be. It's like the whole difference between the higher rating was just cause of that c-section. If I was the studio, I think I would have just asked for a few quick cuts, lowered the rating, and then Prometheus could have made even more money, while still staying true to the overall mood and all that.
