just read this - someone asked if they shouldn't have made enough with the first movie:

One would think so. We were struck with extremely bad luck with one specific distributor (which we don't care to mention by name now) which completely took advantage of us, leaving us losing hundreds and hundreds of thousands just because of their assholery; we were also forced to go a bit over budget due to bad weather during the shoot, so our budget couldn't hold those exceeds that well. Altogether, we did a film that did very well in theaters and spread worldwide, but due to loads of bad luck, some bad decisions and one horrific distributor in a major territory, we ended up with nothing much in the end. But - instead of mourning over that, we realized: what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, and teaches us a lesson, and based on that, we're going to crowdfund and soft-money-finance this beast as much as possible and be as little dependant on entities that can screw us over - and I'm sure we'll succeed there!
