    Didn’t realize the little mermaid ended up being such a big hit.

    Also these movies are doing well they’re just leveraged against insane budgets. Studios need to find a way to reign in spending while also paying their workers more. The answer is a little less for shareholders/execs and cutting out the excessive CGI. I think audiences want more things that are real than fake video game spectacle. And it ends up being cheaper.

      if they cut the opening sequence for the Dial of Destiny it probably would have halved the budget 🤷‍♂️

      Oh there is a cheaper way coming, only the studios, actors and writers are fighting against it. It is call A.I. and it will put movie making in everyone’s hands with a little know-how. Users won’t need expensive sets/crews/studios/actors/writers…and not to mention, it will trample all over their protective, trademark properties. They know it is coming and it is going to destroy old Hollywood.
