Sounds like an easy way to drum up sales.

"You want to see Ghost in the Shell 3? Go buy the second one!"

It's sad when business gets in the way of art, but I understand that Production IG can't operate at a loss, so this is just how it has to be.

Make it, or don't make it, most people won't really care either way.

Years passed, and the world kinda moved on both from GitS, and Oshii.

If is hasn't broken even in two decades, what makes him think it's gonna happen now?

there is no way they didn't make any profits from this after 2 decades with just a budget of 18 million dollar. like wtf?

did they mean the box office?

No offense but this seems more like an underhanded tactic to get desperate fans to buy more copies of the movie or are planning a re-release and get them to pay to see it. Otherwise i have no idea how they plan to make it break even.

seriusly what the heck does he mean by that anyway? even if the 2nd movie has not broken even they had more sales from other merchandise/movie deals, tv shows and varius games they have released since.

Especially when I don't think they're even licensing it out to any streaming service.
