I think he's only talking about the time he was there - and while Universal had franchises during that time (Bourne, Meet the Parents,
early F&F) none of them were on the same "$1 billion in worldwide" revenues as Pirates, LoTR, Dark Knight, Marvel universe, Transformers, Potter, etc are.
Obviously the direction has changed since then with the movies you mentioned, plus Pitch Perfect, the upcoming slate of monster movies like The Mummy, and failed attempts at franchise making like Neighbors 2, Ted 2, etc

Fogelson was let go cause he couldnt develop franchises that worked for the entire world Aug 16, 13:00
but of course the irony is he should get the credit for Uni's 2015 {nm} Aug 16, 13:01
OK, that makes sense. He couldn't get them going, and someone else has. (Probably makes him a good fit for STX, at least) {nm} Aug 16, 13:05
STX is a good gig and he's got great taste. They are well funded and have smartly gotten heavily into TV Aug 16, 13:21
Your assessment of the BM strategy is wrong Aug 16, 15:14
what they sold at Cinema Con and what they went with were different and they said so to us {nm} Aug 16, 15:21
