HOLLYWOOD STOCK EXCHANGE
THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
Though it's not really blame, just a post-mortem. It wouldn't surprise me if audience tastes have changed with Obama out and Trump in.
The political environment has always affected what people want to see, and in turn that affects what movies get made. Would a movie like Get Out have had as much success if it was released in 2010, for example? Would The Purge movies have been successful if they had been made before the financial crisis, before the Tea Party movement? etc etc
Still, I agree that "make better movies" is the bigger factor. (Another factor not mentioned - the need for Hollywood product to appeal to a worldwide audience, which is hard to do with comedy)
Also, "There will never be another Hangover" (Oh no!) is pretty melodramatic. I mean, next summer has Life of the Party with Melissa McCarthy as the life of the party and Tag, in which Ed Helms and friends play an elaborate country-wide game of tag

Don't make it personal like you just did. It was a question. Jul 05, 10:15
I agree with you....and don't touch my guns! {nm} Jul 05, 13:53
I'm not calling any one person out. You are calling me out. That is personal. Can't you be accepting of me just the way I am?? Jul 05, 13:49

Sniper movies will be a big hit, and The Dead Zone is due for a remake. {nm} Jul 04, 20:08
We could do with another conspiracy so maybe its time for them to remake Manchurian Candidate {nm} Jul 04, 20:38
They already did one with Meryl Streep more or less playing Hillary,... {nm} Jul 04, 22:00
I agree tastes may have changed, but it doesn't entirely have to do with Obama/Trump. Jul 05, 05:02
Folks can see a crap movie a mile away and they aren't going to spend money on them anymore. Jul 05, 15:57
At this point, Girl's Trip being a hit would not be surprising. Jul 05, 19:28
