Quoted from merccat:I think #5 is another original theme as Pat had several ideas lined up.
I severely doubt they will go the original theme route again...

Funny, I have absolutely no idea what the Princess Bride is. I will look it up after this post.
JJP definitely needs a blockbuster theme at this point to stay afloat. The POTC franchise would be ok, but it is on the downhill side compared to 2007 and I don't think anyone expects much from this new movie except a cash grab. On the other hand, Stern was not allowed to use any quotes from the movie and had to use voice actors instead of the real stars. They really got effed in the way they had to use that theme. If JJP could use the actually video and sound from all the movies, this could be the big seller they need. DI was their best game yet but did not sell near the potential because of a terrible original theme.
The real question is who will be designing their next game? Balcer is gone and I haven't heard that PL is working on another game.

Quoted from konghusker:but I'm nervous that potc hype is long gone.
Early reviews are all thumbs down on the new movie. I used to love this franchise, but no way will I see this one in the theater. Maybe once it comes to HBO. Guardians of the Galaxy would be a hot franchise for the next few years.
Quoted from Sinestro:Exhibitors got to watch it about a month ago, and were ecstatic. They know what audiences will like, it's their bread and butter.
Couldn't care less about the critics for this kind of picture.
Ok I guess it won't be long before we see who is right.
