It's retarded to remake his movies because his unique personality was what made the mediocre source material good.

This. the only exception being Conan. the source material is 180 and if done right could be a lotr/got type hit. the momoa movie was unfortunately, not done right.

Tons of movies fail horribly nowadays. The box office “bombs” of old such as Waterworld would still make back their budgets.

Blade Runner (1982) — Budget: ~$28M | Box Office: ~$41.5M

The Thing (1982) — Budget: ~$15M | Box Office: ~$19.6M

Scarface (1983) — Budget: ~$25M | Box Office: ~$66M

Once Upon a Time in America (1984) — Budget: ~$30M | Box Office: ~$5.3M (US), ~$43M worldwide

The Shawshank Redemption (1994) — Budget: ~$25M | Box Office: ~$28.3M

Fight Club (1999) — Budget: ~$63M | Box Office: ~$101M

Eyes Wide Shut (1999) — Budget: ~$65M | Box Office: ~$162M

Batman Returns (1992) — Budget: ~$80M | Box Office: ~$266M

Waterworld (1995) — Budget: ~$172M | Box Office: ~$264M

Hook (1991) — Budget: ~$70M | Box Office: ~$300.9M

The Rocketeer (1991) — Budget: ~$40M | Box Office: ~$46.7M

Last Action Hero (1993) — Budget: ~$85M | Box Office: ~$137M

I remember Hook and LAH getting dragged so hard for being "bombs", actually pretty respectable.

I had no idea Shawshank Redemption did so poorly, assumed it was a big success. It got a lot of Oscar nominations and is still referenced a lot now.

Flying under the radar is practically its original call to fame with Losers imo. Losers have always loved Shawshank. Every Loser has a copy of it on DVD.

Cr now we have Ruinous failures like Mars Needs Moms. No one remembers this obviously but it made like 35m worldwide on a 150000000k budget.

People don’t have the attention span for “new things” imo. You can just sort of harvest their interest in the Same Things. Like in the early 90s you could see a Trailer for Hook and get yourself excited over a long period of time. Same with Zelda OOT. There’s no way to get hyped for anything anymore because there are Other Things distracting you. Almost No Games came out in 1995. Well a few did but they were $60 which is like $145 now and you didn’t have a Ride and that shit wasn’t worth it even if it was good or wasn’t in stock anyway and NAFTA had happened so your parents couldn’t afford it

Now new movies are largely over 2.5 hours when people have shorter attention spans than ever. The industry keeps shooting itself in the foot

Pre-Covid annual box office sales were over $40bn a year. Now its less than $8bn. The industry is DEAD. Streaming is not really saving it either because TV used to make GAZILLIONS off advertising and advertising is DEAD and the $20 from everyone is not covering the money bleed. The entire industry is fucked beyond words and that's before AI has even started reaping.

They did it to themselves but sidelining anything white and male.
