![]() ![]() I am not even going to consider that with every subsequent entry in the franchise, the critical score has dwindled too, because it’s the money that really matters here. If there is a ‘for’ argument, there are, contrarily so, tens that are against. A disappointing sum by all means looking at the franchise’s successful history, but the trend still holds. That’s one reason for the studio to keep it going, right there, even if the fifth one, ‘Collision Course’ tanked with roughly $60 Million domestic and $340 Million from other territories. Upto roughly 70-80% of the franchise’s overall cume has been from international markets, especially when the franchise got up to the dizzying highs of the third film, ‘Dawn of the Dinosaurs’ bringing in more than $880 Million in global figures. That trend is the rising disparity in between the domestic and the international collections of the ‘Ice Age’ films with every upcoming release, and it would seem that despite the increasingly declining critical score, it’s the money that the franchise has been collecting from overseas locations it is released in that is keeping the franchise afloat. There is an extremely interesting trend at the very heart of the Ice Age movies and the collections story they have presented with every successive release, that may very well be the reason for these movies continuing getting made, and also the key to whether a sixth one happens or not. All that said, things may not be looking too good for a sixth one. ![]() In a world where even the most lucrative ones, including ‘ Toy Story’ that still has it going with its fourth (and possibly final) film out recently after a gap of eight years, ‘Kung Fu Panda’, that is struggling to get a fourth film made, and ‘Madagascar’, that seems to have called the cards after a trilogy, the ‘Ice Age’ films have managed to get five of these movies made, two of them major box office successes, despite critics and audience both suggesting waning interest in the franchise with every successive instalment. Anyhow, narrowing into the reason why we are here - to talk about the possible next instalment in an animated franchise that quite possibly has the most number of instalments to date: the ‘ Ice Age’ series of films.
