I have to wonder how profitable those six smash hits were last year... Most people aren't aware that for every dollar spent in production and promotion that you have to make at least double or triple that amount to break even. Lots of people are owed money from $150million and $200+million films.
Bloated budgets to begin with plus another $20million for a 3-D facelift that's the same crap that comes around every 30 years reminds me why I still hate 3-D.
Sorry, but the current 3-D's going to die out from lack of hardware support (the TV sets aren't selling), the lack of films in 3-D Blu ray that aren't mindless action sequences strung after another or animation that looks better in 2-D, and maybe a brain cell or two if Hollywood grows up and realizes you can't keep throwing money into dung pits. Teens don't have THAT much money and even their parents have to be getting sick of throwing away the money they lend them, too.
Time to wake up and make movies for adults again!
There might be some hope... Charlie Sheen finally got fired when it became obvious to even the blind people in charge that his rollercoaster's wooden beams were rotting. We all know the park employees left that ride on automatic; nobody's watching the cars anymore.
