> But in the last six months, the sequel strategy seems to be deflating. Several follow-ups—including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, Zoolander 2, The Huntsman: Winter’s War, Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, The Divergent Series: Allegiant, Barbershop: The Next Cut, and Alice Through the Looking Glass—have “disappointed or flopped outright,”
Not surprising, they're all crap films.
EDIT: but of course, Millennials get the blame.
- callesgg 10y agoYou got there before me :) The fact that people using the internet is a more informed might have something to play in there. Or it might just be that Hollywood are producing crap and crap again for some unknown reason. One could argue that they should be more informed these days, using what i stated above.
- current_call 10y agoHollywood has been making crap movies for a long time. Why is the last six months special?
- Animats 10y agoEven their trailers look crappy. The Marvel Universe is wearing out, too. Avoid "Captain America - Civil War". The writers are running out of ideas. It's a heel-face turn, always a bad sign. Now what? Movies from video games? "Warcraft" and "Angry Birds" are in theaters now. Disney did Kipling's Jungle Book, which is a CG demo reel for animal animation. We're almost to the other side of the uncanny valley. But it takes thousands of animators to drive the tools.
