Unknown movies I won't be seeing.
Better get your tickers checked. Don't want to die before all the new Star Wars films come out
Yawn. I'm much more excited about the new Michel Gondry film opening today.
I'm sure the investors in huge blockbusters are sad about that, but why should anyone else care?Movies just haven't cut the mustard this summer.
I heard it was a huge blockbuster bust.
I had to Google that.That's the sequel to Rochelle, Rochelle, right?
Because original movies are a big gamble for the industry. If they don't make money whereas sequels do, you can count on not seeing any real new stuff.I'm sure the investors in huge blockbusters are sad about that, but why should anyone else care?
I enjoyed "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" and "Godzilla".

Maybe you don't care...I know I don't. Sequels are an easy bet for Hollywood.
What do you make of this?I don't understand your post. The top 8 films this summer are all sequels, remakes or spin-offs. The only original content in the top 10 (excluding a Marvel movie based on a less well known comic book) is "Fault in Our Stars", and it's made 10 times as much as it cost to make.
If Hollywood has a lesson in these numbers it's that original films are more profitable than sequels.
What do you make of this?

The concept isn't hard to understand, nor is it my own.
An original movie has the potential to flop, as it's unproven. It may make a ton of money by itself. However, successful sequels, namely the 2nd movie, can generate more revenue over the long haul for a franchise movie.
The movies are still generating retarded amounts of money...just not as much as 2013.What I don't understand is what that has to do with this summer's box office results. The numbers are down from last year and the top 10 is full of sequels.
Naturally, there are exceptions.Avatar (2009 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Avatar the #1 movie of all-time, with an worldwide gross of $2,787,965,087. They are making an #2 and 3, but it won't be coming out sometime in 2016 - 2018. I doubt the sequels could reach the amount the first one made, unless James Cameron can blow everybody minds and make them the future all-time gross movie?
Are they vampires? Vampires are hot, but zombies are hotter.Yawn. I'm much more excited about the new Michel Gondry film opening today.
