if they believe that the current film will be badly received, and they believe it's fixable, then yes it can look worth it to spend more on major reshoots.
The thing with reshoots is pretty much every blockbuster film has reshoots of some description asnd they're pretty much never an indicator of the quality of the final product.
that word has really become a curse word on this board.
Yeah they are burning through money. Costs a lot to keep up that content output.
Netflix to raise $2 billion in debt to fund more original content

so one flop and suddenly an entire genre is dead? Funny that. The Meg and Jurassic World did alright last year! Kong Skull Island did well, as did the previous godzilla.
If RAMPAGE can gross more than GODZILLA then don't you think maybe it's not that no one cares for the genre, but rather a problem with that individual film?
King Kong did alright at christmas back in 2005. Wouldn't have thought of GvK being a xmas release but its definitely quieter. Depends on how long they need to work on it. I mean August is empty.
Looks like it will move.

As far as franchise fatigue with Legendary’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters tanking, Emmerich said that next year’s monster movie Godzilla vs. Kong “will deliver for fans in the way they were looking for” in the latest Godzilla. “It might come out later in the year, so we can deliver an A+ movie” said Emmerich.
Man: "Hey, can you guess what's the highest rated TV series on IMDB?"
Woman: "Game of Thrones?"
Man: "Nope."
Woman: "Is it Breaking Bad?"
Man: "No."
Woman: "Well what is it?"
Man: "Chernobyl. It's got 9.7 out of 10 on IMDB. Watch Chernobyl now, exclusively on Sky Atlantic."
the adverts for this show are awful. I kind of don't want to watch it just because of these annoying ads.
its more recent thing that sequels do really well. There are loads of movies from 70s and 80s that were huge and that had unnecessary sequels that people did not turn out to see. Exorcist adjusts to like 1 billion domestic and exorcist 2 did what 10% of that.
As pointed out by others, Disney made loads of sequels to their films but because sequels weren't really respected in the same way, they just put them to video as didn't think people would see them in the cinema.
I once went to an "Alice" themed night in a club where the bar staff were dressed as skimpy rabbits and Disney's ALICE IN WONDERLAND (2012) was projected across the wall of the dance floor.
should it really be surprising that Through the Looking Glass grossed less than Avengers Infinity War's first two days? Avengers is a pretty big deal nowadays but no one's really interested in Alice.
Not a surprise to me.
Not really, twice the budget of the first film. And made way less than half the first one. bad neighbours 2 was a flop. every sequel that summer flopped.
Yeah, because King Kong is a character that the audience can relate to (at least in previous films, not so much skull island, but historically). Godzilla is similar to dinosaurs in jurassic park. Just part of the scenery in a disaster movie. So you need to have a film with strong human story/characters to be a success.
