Said budget has been reported to be 10 million (not including campaign budget) and the film placed 11th earning only 1.7 million. And yet it's still probably going to get a sequel.

Not surprised at the take this time. I think starting off with what was such an 'amateurish' first episode turned a lot of people off from seeing the second. Only one of two friends who saw the first had any interest in seeing the second. I also noticed that I didn't hear any fiscally conservative people in the media talking about this movie, unlike the first one which had a lot of people looking forward to seeing it, and I suspect many let down by it.

Not to mention in the current economic climate with "Occupy" movements all over the world it's not exactly the favourite message for most folks.

I still hope they make the third and I'll give them all a watch. If nothing else Rand paints an interesting world.
