Why should Hollywood make new and original movies if nobody goes to see those movies?

[Colin X]

Honestly, why should Hollywood producers and directors start taking risks and wasting money when it's clear that these risky movies make no money for them?



Do people forget film making is a business? Remakes and sequels are almost a guaranteed profit of some kind.


People can say how much they are tired of Hollywood making the same movies but the fact is that those movies make MONEY

If your a big director you can take risks, John Carter flopped and cost Disney mad money, if Stanton wasn't so big that meat have been it for him for big budget films

 

[Devilinurear]

Are you talking about blockbusters?

Hollywood does tons of original movies. They just don't give them a huge budget.

What the hell is an original movie? Some shytty thing with bad dialogue, a poor story, etc. is "original" because it's not 100% based on a comic book? Originality means more than that.

 

[Mr. McDowell]

Was John Wick original? What about the 40-Year-Old Virgin? The Purge? Collateral?

Did these movies not make money?

 

[duckbutta]

Hollywood makes plenty of original movies it's just that somehow people are not aware of a movie unless it has an A list star in it or they see fiftyeleven previews of it on TV

The only remake I give a fukk about next year is that Stephen king "it"

It is very possible that they genuinely like what they do and want to bring a story to the big screen regardless of making a profit.
