AshlynCheerleader Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 What happened? I hope I don't become like that when I get older! What can Hollywood do to become relevant and popular again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vennie Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 By having a good original idea for a movie instead of rehashing old ones/sequals? Hard Nard, S77 and bigboy1992 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest high Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 They insult 50% of their audience and can't tell a good story to save their lives. But who cares when half their sales come from outside the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiro Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 It is expensive for consumers, also expensive for Hollywood. The way the business works, they have to shell out a bunch of money to make the movie, a bunch of money to release it in theaters, and a bunch of money to market it. So there is a big risk for every movie. So most movies are designed to appeal to a broad audience, including foreign markets like China. So it is a lot of Transformers and sequels and reboots. A lot of adults have lost interest in those kinds of movies, and in a lot of places it is horrible going to the movies because people are on their phones and yelling shit. And this is the golden age of television and streaming. The best writers are not writing for hollywood, nor are they writing novels. The best writers are writing for small screens. Some of these are still features, the same basic format as movies. But a lot of them are series like Breaking Bad, which tells a story over the course of multiple seasons. If you live in a big city, you can still see independent cinema, and there are plenty of adults in those places who still like movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilyp5 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Because most movies they release have been terrible. Make better quality stuff. Stop spending 2/3 the budget on marketing and spend it on actually making the movie better. Hard Nard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Saucerful Of Harry Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I remember back when I was a kid it cost $6 to go to see a movie but in some places now it's double that and that's not counting food, drink, or gas, so the issue is it's simply too expensive to go to the theater and with the lack of dollar theaters out there it's a problem that's only going to get worse, I for one don't want to see this type of experience to go away because there is a certain type of magic to the cinema that you can not replicate at home.

bigboy1992 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Whoever makes movie trailers needs to be fired. They practically show the whole movie and can kill any interest the general public may have about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
119 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 They're shit because they need to be tailored to appeal to the lowest common denominator of a worldwide audience. Who cares? There's really good TV series these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggirlsok Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I personally enjoy going to the movies, but time is limited with various other responsibilities, now there are films I will make a point in seeing in theaters or the occasional one night event screening (Look up Flashback Cinema and Fathom Events) but then there are films that I feel are just better appreciated at home because of other dumasses at theaters (WHY are you bringing a toddler to a horror movie) Not to mention that for anywhere between $1-2K you can get yourself a decent home entertainment setup with a TV/Projector, surrounded/wireless surrounded headphones, 4K Bluray player and nice chair or couch.
