Stop spending so much money creating movies. They sink so much money into big action packed CGI pieces of rubbish when they could make 10 movies which have a decent story and longer shelf life for the same budget. I was on a flight recently and it was fortunate to have most new releases. I had to spend 20 mins searching to find one that I thought would actually be good. It was a long flight so I watched one or two of the recent 'blockbusters' too. While slightly entertaining I will never watch them again. If you want me to buy a movie or rent it multiple times create something with a good story. We don't need anymore superhero vs superhero movies or reboots.

More like 100. With high quality video, it's become cheaper than ever to make a movie; the major expense could be the talent (but instead, it's the marketing, special effects, and graft.)
- draw_down 10y agoAs far as I can tell, the largest single cost in producing a movie is still the cast. However, I agree with the general idea of this thread, that the cost of production is the driving force causing studios studios to play it extra safe, and make crappy movies that they think will be broadly appealing, because each one is such a gamble.
- pessimizer 10y agoBut the justification of the money that goes to the cast is marketing. You get a star to sell a particular movie.
