Fans of the 1987 Robocop certainly were not fans of the 2014 Robocop movie although it paid due respects to the original one while creating few own ideas. The later one had the characters dispersed in different directions thus bearing very little resemblance with the former one.

Nevertheless, the 2014 movie has its own pool of fans who have loved the different version of Robocop starring Joel Kinnaman. Obviously, Sony didn't get their expected success from the box office run but audiences were steaming in once it started streaming on Netflix.

Domestically the 2014 Robocop was a box office failure that made only $58 million against its $100 million budget. However, the movie run fairly well overseas and made an additional $184 million. It was not overwhelming for sure but was fair enough that didn't throw the sequel idea out of the table.
