Better video on the matter, TL;DR?
Late stage Capitalism blows.
Basically. Studios don't want to spend $80 million to make $200 million, they want to spend $200 million to make $2 billion.
To do that you need bums in seats. Lots of them. So they don't take risks, they play it safe to a broad audience, and over time everyone just kind of gets bored with it all.
On the upside, people come along and fill the vacuum left by the lack of risky stories. On the downside, they're now all streaming, and with the proliferation of streaming services, piracy is on the rise.
Hollywood isn't doomed, but it will look very different in 10-20 years.
i thought streaming was to prevent piracy.
ok thats whats happening in the industry. how will this affect the alien and predator franchises? was Prey an actual example of whats coming ?
the possibility exists then romulus might be the last alien movie made as we have been accustomed to seeing with large budgets and well known directors. might it be the last "big budget" film we ever see?
meaning that scotts movie arc is a goner. maybe Prey is the way to go for the alien franchise.
so i am really trying to figure out if the alien franchise and maybe the predator franchise are to become franchises that will have its best years behind it and never ever come close to being anything made in the past in the coming years.
so books and comics and games but not the big budget movies that will make many people turn towards and join it and cement another generation of fans.
Preys vote count and thread count just doesnt feel convey a feeling that that many people actually watched the movie and if they did according to the media hype they certainly dont know about this website.
avpgalaxy.net used to have a wikipedia entry but for some strang reason i cannot find it anymore?
why? i wonder.
i hope the series gets made.

just trying to figure out what is going on in hollywood. as thats issue at hand for me since it directly impacts the future of the alien and predator franchises. and that will impact the what happens on this website.
as this video seems to suggest
america is soon not going to have us dollar as the reserve currency anymore . that usually means bad things on the horizon .
leading me to believe that who ever makes movies in america will have a hard time selling said movies.
at least internationally .
because its going to be massively expensive
