Chewy Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Monsters University is a prequel if you want to get technical Prequel is just a fancy word for a sequel that doesn't follow its predecessor linearly 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 What a shitty summer this has been. I cant even enjoy the bad films flopping anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 2015 will be worse. You have so many big movies set to be released. They will all cannibalize each other. I think they'll all definitely hurt each other, but I doubt most of them will flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 The studios have no interest in mid-budget movies anymore. It's all about chasing that box-office home run. I understand that the advertising cost is so high that studios would rather release two $200 million than 10 $40 million movies but not all studios can afford to play this game. I don't expect Disney to make many (any ?) mid-budget movies for the next decade but studios like Universal , Sony and Paramount don't have enough franchises to compete with Disney. Sony had two big bombs this year and will likely report losses for this fiscal year and it is a studio that was already struggling because of the way things have gone with its parent company. I don't know if all the majors will be able to survive this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Prequel is just a fancy word for a sequel that doesn't follow its predecessor linearly I'll use my term, to keep a film that utterly disrespected its source material from being #1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 You rarely see $60-80 million movies anymore. It is either shoestring budget movies or big $130 million+ tentpole wannabes. True! Weren't Lucas & Spielberg saying that in a conference or something? Hollywood has no middleground anymore. The (domestic) floor is falling under their feet. That is fucking terrible for Turbo. It's going to sell less tickets than Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron..... Did Fox dump this film? Snails!! Lame premise. Spirit was great. Silent animals Bryan Adams song. And a very cool-sounding title! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Old Tele Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I understand that the advertising cost is so high that studios would rather release two $200 million than 10 $40 million movies but not all studios can afford to play this game.

I don't know if all the majors will be able to survive this way. Oh believe me, I think it's a terrible business model, both creatively and financially. But that doesn't mean the studios won't do it. For the most part, they're entirely crippled by fear, and loath to take any sort of risk (which they now define as mid-budget movies aimed at adults and non-sequel, non-franchise films).

Gideon Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I always hated his haircut in GreenLantern. So...RyanReynolds-y. I didn't buy at all into his character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 in 2015, there are lots of big movies but they are all pretty separated from each other which should help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I'll use my term, to keep a film that utterly disrespected its source material from being #1. Movie itself was a piece of crap ignoring the source material; comparing the two just made seem even worse. Monsters U ftw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's anything I don't like about Ryan Reynolds hair it's how much it reminds me of Ryan Reynolds. Same goes for the rest of him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddddeeee Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Everyone complained about 2011 but that Summer was the shit. Mostly good (not really great) movies and glorious duds. 2012 was a huge disappointment and 2013 has been a dud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
