Jurassic World: Rebirth

[SCNCY]

Hollywood is sooo out of ideas.

I don’t think they’re out of ideas, I think they’re just unwilling to fund a lot of them. I want to say a couple years ago, I either read something or watched a video on YouTube to the effect that movie theaters are moving away from many movies that have smaller profits to fewer movies with large profits. Looking back at it, If I can remember, going to a movie theatre and seeing 10-15 movies to choose from at any time. Today, it’s probably less than 10.

I think this has been a narrative for Hollywood for much longer than that.

If it's not remakes it's still same themes or general storylines.

But they don't run short of ideas on expressing their political/health etc on ideas on how to run our lives as everyday regular people now do they?? haha You know, since we all live like them!

It's a shame what has happened to the current state of comedy movie genre. It's basically DOA right now.

It's because they're more worried about providing appeal to the inclusion effect and/or not offending anyone. So, instead of making classic knee slappers, they went away from continuing to make great quotable classics. Sandler stopped making good ones because he wasn't an immature actor anymore and just wanted to go a different route, maybe being a dad turned him that direction. I believe Rogen said at one point he didn't want to touch (make) comedies in a certain way because the public was brutal. He said hollywood got away from making real comedies like superbad too.
I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but there doesn't seem to be some innovative directors at the moment. Classics that stuck around like Hangover, Stepbrothers, Superbad, etc. Maybe Hollywood is missing some true comedic actors?

Good point actually. Theatres just don't fill like they used to, but how can they when movies cost $15? Then you add in anything else on the side to pay for and it's tough to take a family or go on a date to be cost effective.
There are occasionally some solid streamed movies that are good comedies, but those are lesser known and we haven't seen the ones that everyone constantly talks about.

I was going to bring up A24. They aren't afraid to release original material. The problem is Hollywood thinks every movie should bring in $500m+

The franchise jumped the shark with gymnastics raptor and has been downhill ever since.

 

[SolterraCyclone]

The first movie is one of the best movies ever made. And then they massacred the franchise like Sonny from The Godfather

Someone brought up Fast and Furious.

Vin Diesel said he would only do a final one (that will probably not be true but whatever) if they do two things.

It has to be in L. A. and cars have to be the feature.

They are bringing back dead for twelve years Brian(Paul Walker) by doing digital trickery using his two brothers.

So, not exactly swimming in new ideas.
