It's difficult to take seriously an article which suggests without nuance that MBFG2 did less than its predecessor.

What a stupid thing to say without context.

MPAA: The audience of 18- to 39-year-olds has declined over the past five years {nm} Peterlee Jul 26, 16:24

..AND WILL CONTINUE TO DECLINE. A new generation has little tolerence for Hollywood crap!...simple as that, the number reflect this. {nm} Malachi Jul 26, 16:53

I'm not so sure this will be the death knell of Hollywood TwoMisfits Jul 26, 18:10

they are nice for hits during slumps, but chicken little articles are rarely based in reality. Moviesnob Jul 26, 19:03

The attempt to make everything a franchise is a big problem. And taking to long to produce the next installment kills viable ones. {nm} leo21 Jul 26, 18:58

You are so right...why does it take 3 goddamn years to make a 2 hour James Bond movie? Or 2 yrs to make another Deadpool? {nm} MrZero Jul 26, 20:07

That, good sir, depends on the level of craftsman you want put into each of those films. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Jul 26, 22:38

Except neither of these factors were a problem for NEMO2. There's no sweeping judgment to be made except don't screw up. second gary Jul 26, 20:24

Yeah. More spectacle from films, less boring commentary would be a good start. {nm} VictorY Jul 26, 20:58

The author suggests that Hollywood is generally in big trouble but yet states that "year-to-date, the receipts are up 2%". BlackMamba1893 Jul 26, 22:00

Every single year we have to read another one of these stupid sky is falling articles. Sigh. {nm} nilephelan Jul 26, 23:08
