How To Get A Retro 70s Film Look
Is This the End of Existing IP Domination?
https://screencraft.org/blog/is-this-the-end-of-existing-ip-domination/
Do you need existing IP to make a sale in Hollywood? The answer is a tricky one.
Quote:
IP fatigue settles in when the audience doesn’t want to pay money for something they’ve already seen, and it can hurt box office numbers.
Not sure if these will be good but Nowhere is an upcoming fictional survival thriller, plot follows the plight of pregnant woman Mia, fleeing a totalitarian country in a shipping container

Only 21 of those movies have made profit with 2.5xRoT.
and because films like Barbie and SuperMario made money expect Hollywood to pat itself on the back and reward film remakes of paint by numbers of little imagination?

Oh sure. You know there's going to be a Barbie 2 and Super Mario Bros. 2.
The real question is, will the people reward their laziness and give them over a Billion each when they come out?
Also, I'm wondering if they're going to try to make Extended Universes for each of them. That's something that only really makes sense in Comic Book movies. People aren't going to come out for a toy figure extended universe very long. They did for LEGO, but it made sense there. Putting He-Man and She-Ra with Barbie and Polly Pocket is just dumb.
And I can't imagine it would be much better with video games. Have the characters from different properties gotten together before? Sure. The Smash Bros. and Super Mario Kart series are some of the most popular franchises ever made. I just don't see how they could make a big budget movie series doing this. And it would be a MUCH bigger budget just because of licensing fees, unless Nintendo was only going to limit it to Nintendo creations which eliminates a lot of the more interesting characters like Mega-Man and the Belmonts. (Both of which were main characters in the 80's cartoon Captain N: The Game Master). Aside from some breakout hits, the Nintendo bench isn't all that deep.

Remember when Hollywood would make movies on a Budget of $30-50 million
From Japan the movie Godzilla Minus One made ten times its budget, $116 million worldwide on an estimated $10–12 million budget
The Latest Will Smith Bad Boys is considered 'Low' these days with a Budget $100 million
What the hack has happened to product costs?

That's the big question that they're going to have to find an answer to.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die is going to break even, but probably not much more than that. And the really sad thing is that when it does it will be among a group of only 4 or 5 big-budget Hollywood movies in 2024 that didn't lose money so far.
If Ride or Die only carried a reasonable $25 Million budget, it would have been a major success, likely making 10 to 12 times the budget when it's over.
