Now we've got a single studio dealing flops like it's Halloween candy and their still going, other studios not doing much better and following the same game plan, nobody's career takes a hit and Hollywood is like "damn those incel fanboys".

The other day I watched the movie "Ronin" with Robert DeNiro for the first time in probably 20 years. I saw it in the theater way back in the day when I was young enough that my friends and I had to get someone's parents to drive us to the theater. I clearly remember leaving the theater after seeing "Ronin" and feeling that it been a solid but unoriginal action/spy thriller. As always, DeNiro was enjoyable--"what color is the boathouse at Hereford?"--the supporting actors were all solid; the action was decent, and the story was reasonably compelling. But there were no real surprises, nothing novel or new for an action/spy thriller. A solid 6.5 or 7 out of 10 sort of film, a nice way to spend a few hours on a Saturday afternoon. Better than "mediocre" but less than "excellent." Except that watching it again now, it seems fantastic. It was so much more fun and intelligent than most films that have come out in the last few years, especially action films. The pacing is perfect--or it feels that way now--and every single scene is interesting, and either important to the plot, important for character development, or both. What 20+ years ago seemed like a pretty standard genre film now looks like what would be one of the most successful, well-liked films of the year if it was released today. Look.at "Top Gun: Maverick": it had about as standard a plot as one could imagine, but it also had likeable characters and absolutely beautifully shot, exciting action with very little cgi, and that was enough to bring an entertainment-starved audience back to the cinema again and again. I'd say studios should take note, but most are clearly actively resisting the lesson..

"Ronin" is an underrated masterpiece compared to what Hollywood is putting out today. It didn't break any new ground, but it did what it was supposed to do: be an enjoyable way to spend an evening or afternoon. Top Gun: Maverick did the same thing. Neither are "High Art". Neither are pushing some kind of deeper meaning beyond the basic story...and that's ok. We enjoy them for what they are: An entertaining way to tell a short story. BTW, if you enjoyed "Ronin", check out "Heat"...also with Robert DeNiro (among others).

And like the 70's television was very popular, a different type of course. But now smaller studios like A24 are churning out good original pieces others will eventually follow

Hollywood has really leaned into 'right, maybe people will like it more if we spend more' . This has led to them cooking the books. Movies don't need more money chucked at them, they need more creativity. Some of the best directors working today were at their best and most creative when working within a tighter budget as this encourages creativity. I haven't seen it yet but going by the trailer and budget Godzilla minus one is the way to do things...

I ran an independent theater for a few years - and that was a good 20 years ago. We always said that the movie industry is the only industry where the distributers were trying to put the retailers out of business. The studios were buying up theaters left and right and trying to push out the independents. Disney, Sony, Columbia, Warner.. they all own chains. Most of this is correct, though. Contracts for movies pay the theaters better the longer they hold the movie. The first two weeks are terrible, 75% is kinda low. With bigger movies, the contracts are more biased towards the studios. I remember we refused to show that godzilla movie back in 2000. Warner wanted 95% of the ticket sales for the first two weeks. So yeah, theaters really only profit from concessions. Percap is everything - the dollar amount of concession sales divided by the number of tickets sold. I'm guessing when he said in the vid that Disney is the cause of the high concession prices, he was just using it as an example. Back then, Disney was great. Their contracts were fair, starting around 65% and dropping to 50% in a few weeks. Their movies were quality and would pack the house from Nov to Jan. And concessions were through the roof because of all the kids. But god help you if you ever screwed them. You don't eff with the mouse. I have no idea what they do now, i'd bet it's very different.

I would say the Mouse is more like a Rat. Seems like today Disney is getting it from all sides for various reasons. Probably because they have tried to piss off just about everyone. Awhile back they cut their sports content short of their contract because the cable provider did not want to pay what they were asking or the "Disney Difference". Don't know how they sorted it out but now Disney+ I think is now packaged with the cable provider for awhile for "free". What seemed to really hurt them the most was getting into a pissing match with the Florida government and losing their special status. There are some things coming out that makes it sound much worse than people may have thought. I think they were getting the state government to foot the bill for a lot of their projects in like a money laundering scheme. I only know about the Disney news because a channel ClownFish TV has been covering them for nearly half a decade on KZbin, longer pre-KZbin channel. They used to get paid to cover Disney by Disney and one of the things that will get you the boot is reporting anything negative however small about them. They didn't playball and so got the boot but continued their vlog going into KZbin. They also got screwed over from one of their partners and lost their old site. They sound like they learned from their mistakes and are doing much better, and could probably get their old site back but it ain't worth the hassle. Either way that Rat is now broke. One of the definitive proof is all the negative news about them because they cant afford to cut their checks anymore to pay them off. Like that animation where Mickey thinly cuts a slice of bread for Donald and Goofy.

We’ve gotta start blaming ourselves as consumers here mostly, bro. We don’t have to see remakes, reboots, bad franchise films and sequels to things that don’t need them every year, but we do anyway over things the original things we claim we want more of like The Creator, The Holdovers, etc. Hollywood doesn’t keep doing this for nothing. They’re doing it because we show interest in what we claim we don’t want more of very often. That has to change, but it won’t, sadly. Same with gaming. It’s not trash right now, you just aren’t playing anything. Play what you want to become the standard instead of the corporate sludge served to you yearly by companies who don’t care about gaming, creativity, or you. It’s that simple.

We also watched Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 and Across the Spider-Verse because those were both good franchise films that warranted a sequel, and both of these sequels were worth watching in their execution.

By 2014 they were making Robocop remakes where he plays baseball with his son and it was completely over. Game of Thrones Season 1 was 2011. I'd say by then movies were lower then TV.

I feel like people have forgotten what you can do with film. You could tell a totally fantastical story with a crazy world with your rules. You could tell a simple story about the emotional weight of daily life. With film, with animation, you can do whatever you want. Imagination has been limited because studios try to pander too hard to fans.

Imagination is not outlawed or dead. The people who make these films need to learn that it does not sell tickets to pander to a different sort of fans who do not even have that much interest in watching their movies to begin. This is why The Marvels failed as a superhero film when more men bought tickets than women, so now we know that female superheroes and a female villain by itself are not an effective hook to get female audiences to watch superhero films.

I don't think the blockbuster will ever die. The blockbuster didn't exist until Jaws but before that there were these big, crowd-pleasing spectacle movies that tried to appeal to everyone and they were flopping everywhere and losing the studios a lot of money. It wasn't until Easy Rider that things really started to changed and money went to smaller budget movies that appealed to the younger, more rebellious set. That youth movement led to young guys like Coppola, Scorsese and Spielberg getting their shot in the 70's. So, yes, the $300 million dollar mega-blockbuster era is coming to an end...but blockbusters overall won't die. (Look for Deadpool 3 to rake in a lot of cash next year). They'll just be smaller budgeted movies with more room to make a profit with a mega-budget movie mixed in here and there.

It feels as though Hollywood is more bothered about the assembly line movie as products for people to consume. “This what you’re getting, so eat up” feels like the approach. They spend eye-watering amounts of money to make these films that are, in my opinion, hollow and soulless for the most part. The fast food diet approach to filmmaking. There’s no depth to these blockbusters anymore. And they are beginning to fail because these big studios are out of touch as to what audiences want to consume. We discussed this in one of our videos that there aren’t any big event movies anymore. Not since Endgame (or maybe No Way Home, at a push). None that everyone is excited to go see and everyone’s talking about in a positive way. The pandemic and the strikes had a big part to play in that but the studios still want content for people to consume so the quality, the writing (which feels like A.I. has written for the most part) and the overall productions just don’t stand up anymore. CGI explosions and lots of stuff to fill the screen in these ridiculous battle sequences that are becoming boring seems to be the norm now. Give me the Enterprise vs Reliant moving slowly in space from Wrath of Khan on a fraction of the budget with a great story and depth to the characters any day. Great video by the way. Really enjoyed watching this. Excellent analysis!

I think you've missed the 'Big Picture'. Studio heads still believe "They", the Chosen, shall determine market demand, they will shape culture, decide the next 'big thing'. Let their arrogance be their downfall. They need to start humbling themselves, starting with 'market analysis'. Find out through research what people are interested in - tabulate the findings, and go from there. They are so used to simply filming their personal fantasy they cannot understand why they are approaching bankruptcy. YOU ARE WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. It's not about failing to take risks. They are all about risks! Let's put a homosexual kiss in a children's movie, let's race/gender swap long-beloved characters, let's DESTROY LONG LOVED CHARACTERS! WHO? oh only Luke Skywalker, Hans Solo, Landau Calrissian, not to mention action IP's like MCU, et. al. Secondly, the Woke Mind Virus kills brain cells, destroying both left and right hemispheres.No creativity, no logic, no reason, - BUT WORSE THAN THAT - it kills the human soul. "Let's strip out 'love', normal sexual attraction, heroism of men," etc. Ya. Tell me again how they're not taking risks.

Like several of the other commenters on here, I also think that the majority of films today are seriously lacking in the departments of having good stories/plot lines and character development. I think oftentimes what happens (even if they have talented/experienced screenwriters onboard for a project) is a studio will take a “too many cooks in the kitchen” approach. And then the story of the film becomes convoluted with too many side plot lines and little to no growth and change in the characters/one dimensional characters. In that scenario, the film at hand becomes the most generic and boring film that is there for “a certain audience”. Or, the film studios while hire on a bunch of new up and coming screenwriters and etc. who did not grow up reading actual books as much. And the screenwriters did not grow up writing as much in school and etc. and it really shows in the films themselves. In my opinion, there are multiple present day television shows that are having similar problems. These are just my main two theories on why many (not all) of films today are really just not that good. I think there are probably several other reasons as well.

Another problem is every studio wants a guaranteed intellectual property or franchise with minimal or no risk... Almost inpossible. Here are ways studios can achieve this... a. They can groom and invest in a creative team to make original movies... Think the way *A Christopher Nolan Film* can be slapped on an unknown intellectual property and still draw attention like _Inception_ , _Tenet_ , _Interstellar_ or how *A Quentin Tarantino Film* can sell a completely original film not based on an exisiting franchise... Of course the Director would have to spend years and a few movies which have to become successful for the audience to have confidence in the name of the director and then the name of the director becomes the brand or franchise that moviegoers trust. Challenge is a studio has to be willing to groom and invest in such a director and be willing to bet on him or her. 2. Similar to approach nimber one, but instead of the director being the brand, make the studio the brand. Example would be how *Pixar* was known even to casual moviegoers and not cinephiles who knew names of scriptwriters, directors and studios involved in a production. 3. Another way would be original intellectual properties and when there is a hit, cross promote the studio brand like previous point or simply use the, ' _from the makers of that movie you loved that made over 700 million_ ' . In asummary, basically plan long term, hire or build the right team to make the quality movies that studio wants and utilize the brand and goodwill associated with the successful movie

I kept falling for the nostalgia baiting in 2010s (the analogy I heard during that time was, it's like ordering a big mac and being given something else and told it's better for you, your just not smart enough to understand), so already by 2015 I stopped going to the theater and consistently watching new films. I can list all the 2010s films I enjoyed and saw in theaters The Dark Knight Rises, Jurassic Park 3D (just the original one brought back to theaters for the anniversary), Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and the joker (that film was the last I saw in theaters untill 2023). I saw the force awakens in theaters and was extremely disappointed, the trailer made it seem like a straight reunion film which I would of preferred. This year I saw Oppenheimer and the Holdovers in theater and for the first time in years I enjoyed new films, but to be honest there is nothing else on the horizon I'm excited about and I'm seeing studios double down on what drove me away in the first place after south park enter the panderverse came out.

I always assumed tons of lefties would have loved him. Napoleon's troops were the heroes in Edgar Allen Poe's The Pit & The Peldelum rescuing the protagonist at the end from the Spanish Inquisition.

There is alot going on with the decline of movies. My take: First - They made moving making a product instead of an art. The purpose of this is to allow any schmuck to write, direct and act. You don't need talent. As a result the power shifts all the way to the execs and not the talent, because there is no talent. Second - With movies sucking they also filled it with a bloated cultural message. As you noted movies both reflect and influence culture, but now they think they are influencers only. As a result the message doesn't resonate. Good news is even with the uninitiated, there is a bare minimum expectation of quality, that has been jettisoned for the message and as a result nobody wants to see it.

Studios want to dictate story and Direct, but use novice Writers and Directors to do exactly what they want, while messaging. So budgets ballon while the story and characters are poor, then they divide the audience.

That it is shows that Japanese movies are better than American movies. Since when I watch Godzilla Minus One, I was start to like the film. Godzilla Minus One is going to be my favorite movie in 2023, Japanese Director and actors did good job to made this movie, because this is only Godzilla film that I don’t hate the human characters.

True “Blockbusters” only really began with Jaws and then Star Wars, so no biggie in not having them anymore 👍

Oh yeah, to add to a point you made. That is the reason concession is so expennsive at theaters. When I worked at one, I found out they don't make hardly any money on tickets, so that is why they had us pressing people for snacks and food and popcorn. If it wasn't so expensive, they wouldn't make crap from just showing the movies.

I think we have hit a point, to where after hollywood drops their braindead politics, they still will have a problem. People are starving for good stories, not spectacle. I remember when you would go see a film for it's special effects and give it a pass becuase of that. People don't care about spectacle anymore. We are numb to it. It is baffling to me how people are screaming for good characters and stories and Hollywood keeps pumping money into the budget as if that makes a good story. No one is praising the new Godzilla for the spectacle except to say I can't believe they did that on a 15 million dollar budget. People are praising it because the story and characters made them feel something for freaking once in a damn movie that has come out modernly. The spectacle meant something because you cared for the people caught up in it. You found yourelf not wanting the damn spectacle to happen so the people you cared about could avoid it!!! Now that is what cinema should be.

Honestly I just hope this is the rise of the independent movies and filmmakers. I’m so tired of all these remakes, reboots, etc.

Wow. That was the best collection of clips that makes me want to rewatch all those movies... in a theater !! Long live the Hollywood Blockbuster. And I will continue to STREAM smaller '70s style films. Don't need IMAX to watch actors act. In fact, it's overkill.

It's better if the local cinemas lowered the price of movie tickets and studios put out high quality films and maybe blockbuster films wouldn't flop. Like why would I go to the cinema when I can watch it on a streaming service?
