They look like shit. They barely release movies at all lol. They are going to do a Bumblebee spin-off!!!

 

 

The easiest way a studio makes money is not making movies. (Assuming they already have a significant library).

Not profitable enough since they decided to go and beg Marvel to let Spider-Man play with The Avengers.

Sony only has the movie rights to Spider-Man.

It's probably because they saw the Amazing movies as a dead end (especially given how the second movie ended) and they obviously couldn't reboot the character completely for the third time in less than 15 years.

Unfortunately, they made movies and released Zoolander 2 (reportedly had an $80-90m loss),  13 hours, WTF and Ben Hur is on the horizon

Pets holding pretty good not getting enuff press? It looks like it will hit $350M or more.

We just need Justin Lin to take a few cracks at it. Beyond is Tokyo Drift of franchise, and he will make it explode one day!

 

Fast and Furious = Adding Hemsworth

 

Star Trek 5, add the Rock!

 

Don't know why Hollywood keeps giving Justin Lin, a pretty good action director, all kinds of genre projects. He did True Detective for HBO, a science fiction franchise for Paramount, and was offered the Terminator project at one time. What's next, a musical? OTOH, James Wan, another young filmmaker, sticks to his genre and excels every time. F7 is a serviceable movie (not requiring his skill with slow-build suspense). Jury is still out on Aquaman but I don't know why Warner picked him...?

Maybe Lin's interested in doing a wide variety of projects, not sticking to one thing.

Isn't he doing Space Jams 2?

Well considering we have only two known Asian directors working in Hollywood it's probably a good thing they get work

Why would Sony hire the director of Evil Dead to make Spider-Man?

Well, those Spider-Man movies turns out..pretty good. But I still think Raimi is not the best guy for the job. 

And yea, Raimi did Dark Man,  but that movie is way too campy for my taste.

Darkman >>>>> SM 1-3

At the rate Sony was going, ASM3 would've been direct to TV like Divergent 4.
