If only they could get their Universal Monsters Cinematic Universe off the ground.
Universal runs you nikkas ask Frankenstein
They should just shamelessly rip off the vibe of Penny Dreadful instead of the crap they are doing.
Dracula untold was crap. Making him an anti hero

Just Namor I think
franchises are popular because only popular movies become franchises
Partly
But what I meant was the majority of these franchises succeed because they do a successful job of character and universe building. The Fast and Furious series took a huge dip in sales towards the middle of the movies with Tokyo Drift because they strayed from the established characters and universe they set in the first successful movies, when they returned to that, the series just got bigger and bigger. People like familiarity, but each of these series have to start with some substance.
Where comic franchise, these Twlight movies, LOTRs and the like all succeed is they take that concept but they are drawing from an established field that already has a fanbase. They come in with a built in audience, which is why taking an already popular concept tends to yield bigger success than just creating a new one.

Only people who don't know anything about movies would think this is "surprising"
Same people who are shocked SOC did major numbers...in this climate it was almost impossible for it not to do major numbers...
It's sad that common sense is viewed as intelligence in the movie world today

Which is why it's harder to get original flicks now on the big screen and cool when they do succeed. Not in this case lol but still
