So I thought The Creator was brilliant. I watched it in the cinema, thoroughly enjoyed it and was gobsmacked when I learned it’s budget was only $79 million. It looks better than some films I’ve seen that cost three times that.

But apparently, while it may make that back, it’s unlikely to even earn $100 million globally.

So the answer to the question of why Hollywood churns out the same shite over and over is that, currently, tragically, that is what the masses want to spend their money on.

And that makes me sad.

    we get another OP asking the same question that’s been asked countless times.

    I mean, I did answer the question in the post. I’m just sad because people complain that we don’t get enough new stuff, but when that new stuff comes out, they don’t go and see it. I can’t blame Hollywood for playing it safe, when it doesn’t pay off when they don’t.

      Oh definitely. I agree with you.
      It’s like complaining about the weather though.
