For the last few years franchise movies like star wars, marvel, etc. made money regardless of quality. However now it seems like audiences are being choosier when it comes to these kinds of tentpole releases. I’ve seen some people online say that the movie/theater industry is losing people in general but I don’t think that’s the case.
Super Mario and spiderverse made a lot of money. And Oppenheimer, Barbie, and Dune seem to be tracking well. I think the problem is that people are getting sick of the same old stuff and need more than just a brand name to go to the theater. What do you you think?
Sadly, no. However, it dose (hopefully) show that people are starting to show it has to be at least mediocre.
The state of creativity is so shit now. It feels like all they do is;
grab a random book or video game and hope it works out.
Make the 10000th in a series beating whatever dead horse they can.
“Live action”
Remake something less than 10 years old
I hope the writers strike does something to stop the death spiral.
