Funny the same thing seems to be happening in the videogames industry, balloon budgets, unrealistic projections etc.
Everyone is a copy cat the funny thing is the more you do it (stupid crazy budgets, incredible set pieces, whatever) the more people expect it, and it becomes a vicious cycle

Remember when computer animated movies were rare and a surefire winner? Blockbusters will follow that path of decline eventually.

A lot more needs to be bolded on that list. I think Kick Ass 2 is gonna flop, This Is The End, Lone Ranger, White House Down, and Elysium. Those animated movies are the ones that sell like crazy due to parents wanting to have something for their kids to watch during the summer....but that Smurfs 2 shyt is gonna flop too.

After Earth won't be huge, nor will The Wolverine (the first one was ass,) and Elysium wasn't made to be a blockbuster film, or if it is, it's blockbuster-lite. Lone Ranger probably won't do great, either, considering the amount Disney has put into trying to push it as its next franchise. It probably won't flop as hard as Prince of Persia, but it won't be anything like Pirates 1. Smurfs 2 will also probably not do that great.
