I think part of the problem is that the cost to produce a movie is so expensive and the risk of creating a new story/IP is large enough that few studios are willing to take that chance. Pixar is one of the few.
- ams6110 10y agoHow can movie production be costly, at least in comparison to decades past? No film, no processing, no laborious cutting/splicing.... with CGI no model-making, much less set-building, no stop-motion, no special frame-by-frame retouching. Must be much cheaper today at least in terms of the infrasturcture required.

- Joeboy 10y agoThe costs of some things have indeed plummeted. It still costs a lot of money to eg. close off city streets, hire cranes, ensure 200 cast and crew are in the right places at the right times with the right skills and equipment. Also marketing is typically a huge chunk of the cost involved. Btw lots of frame-by-frame retouching happens on modern movies. Doing decent VFX is extremely laborious.
