- rdlecler1 8y agoWho is going to make a better one if no studio can accumulate enough capital to make large big-budget bets? Last I checked, very few small budget studios can make big blockbuster movies. The reason Disney can is because they have accumulated capital with their IP and are backed by investors who recognize the value of that IP.
- oblio 8y agoSo you're saying that in a free market no one could get the capital without the IP? I'm sorry, but I feel that's ridiculous. They could still have access to popular actors, directors, screenwriters. Franchises aren't everything. Otherwise the highest grossing movies wouldn't be Avatar and Titanic :)
