Is cinema finally ready to move past comic book movies as the primary driver?

Back to the future sequels

Hollywood was nearly on its deathbed before the MCU. And now the landscape is much different and a lot of those old ways are dead

The new frontier you're likely thinking of is probably unrealistic

What’s really going to fill the void, horrors?

For as much as some fake complain about multiple CBM every year we get like 6 times the amount of horrors flicks.

it kinda surprises me there is no fatigue with those

i'm tired of you spouting this tired bullshyt comparision . horror is verstaile. CBM are not

TBH, the biggest guarantee out there are horror and romantic comedies. Do they make billions? no.. but you can easily stack up wins and wins off small ass budgets and then make a profit basically in one weekend.

Matt damon was just saying romance and his type of human relationship movies have issues drawing. Since there are no more physicals to cover the double up of film being made plus rhe marketing.
Soh that is also why those movies are not really released in theatres. Or there has been a decrease.
in those types of films having theatre releases.

romantic comedies definitely are not, but, horror are great bang for your buck...the best hit rate is anything associated with kids.

19	Twisters- franchise IP	$372,262,265
20	It Ends with Us	$351,441,044

so, what this tells me, is that hollywood will be hungry for making EVEN more franchise movies, and kid movies, or both. It doesn't however tell me that that comic movies are dead...because I can make a comic movie that hits those quadrants and make even more money. Spiderverse 3 will make like 1.5B....kid targeted comic movies are likely our future.

I like spiderverse but that’s not gonna make a billi more like 800 mil

I think Doomsday should make a billion minimum. Every Avengers film in the past has made a billion minimum (including Captain America: Civil War, which was a pseudo-Avengers film).

It’s the Avengers, a billion isn’t a good enough floor. Should be a 1.3 bil floor, the total should be aim for Avatar 2 numbers but i predict that it will hit 1.8 bil total
