Comment on Yesterday when I went to see Inside Out 2, one of the trailers was for a "Mufasa" movie, in the style of the last live action remake. What the heck.

  People are starting to get bored of the live action soulless remakes

  Lol, you think the companies throwing billions at AI give a shit? It’s only going to get worse from here…

    I would hope that stakeholders care about the movies bombing

      Movies are bombing now, and they keep churning out the same, and consistently worsening, garbage.

      Studios will fire their entire staff in exchange for an AI megafarm before they consider “wasting” any more of their time on quality. Why would they when quantity is enough to fill their pockets?

      So called enshitifaction is taking hold everywhere, what makes you think the entertainment industry is any different?? Hoping for shareholders to give a shit, at this point in time, is laughable.

        I have faith in some kind of course correction, if it becomes profitable in some way. Otherwise we’re watching the death of cinema in real time.

        “We have no obligation to make art. We have no obligation to make history. We have no obligation to make a statement. But to make money, it is often important to make history, to make art, or to make some significant statement. We must always make entertaining movies, and, if we make entertaining movies, at times, we will reliably make history, art, a statement or all three. We cannot expect numerous hits, but if every film has an original and imaginative concept, then we can be confident that something will break through.” -Michael Eisner

      They’re just going to see bad numbers and fire everyone below them to use more AI and cheap rebrands or remakes and wonder why nothing is getting better

  It is wild to me how well they have done at the box office. They just kept getting worse and people have only recently stopped going to see them. I wonder if hese do poorly after release, but are big events in the short term.

    A huge amount of people go to see Disney stuff in theatres because they feel like they’re supposed to. Disney has done a great job creating a sense of their stuff being a mandatory experience to keep up with pop culture

      They have had lots of misfires though. Has anyone even heard of strange world? Even going back to the original lion king, they used to release lots of straight to video sequels. Cheap to make, high margin.

      As you say, they have monopolised children’s entertainment very successfully. Even with inside out 2, they have taken the character and made them older so the original target audience of viewers can follow the arc personally.
