Seems like everyone hated The Punisher except me. I really liked it. Yes it had an ample suplly of cheese served with it, but I had fun watching nonetheless.
The only problem is that The Punisher wasn’t a HUGE box office hit. As a matter of fact it only made $33 million domestically and $54 million world wide. Considering the film cost $53 million to make and market… and they at least made $1 million in profit. So I’m SHOCKED that the studio has officially confirmed it’s decision to go ahead and make The Punisher 2… but happy at the same time.
And the best news is that it’s NOT going to be a direct to DVD profect either. The good folks over at HNR give us this:
During a webcast Tuesday, September 27 at the Thomas Weisel Partners Consumer Conference in New York City, Marvel Entertainment vice chairman Peter Cuneo said that The Punisher 2 will be in theaters late next year.
Huray! Yeah I know… most of you think this is bad news. Oh well… more leg room for me in the theater next year. :)
