Why can't retarded zoomers "rediscover" stuff like this so it gets made again? I miss boatkino.

>>214488773Boatkino died off because it requires elaborate expensive sets to be good, and physical effects got replaced with CGI slop. Why invest in good sets when you can just flop some well-known actors in front of a green screen? Even James Cameron who made fucking Titanic has succumbed to CGI slop to the point that it's all he makes now.
>>214488773No amount of zoomer interest will save the spectacle movie until they can find a good way to monetize it again. Going to the theater isn't the standard weekend activity it used to be and streaming these movies is inferior. As in, if you've got a crappy setup at home you're probably going to lean towards watching stuff designed for it like TV shows. Doesn't help that directors refuse to accommodate these people, say by mixing audio so you can hear anything on your TV over the music (get fucked Nolan)
>>214489040Shit like Barbenheimer showed that you can still get people to go to movies if you make them big events. A spectacle movie could absolutely pop off if it was marketed right.I think a theoretical Pirates 6 where Johnny isn't drunk/high off his ass could absolutely make a lot of money if it didn't look like total shit.
>>214488939>The 2003 film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World had a production budget of $150 million. Adjusted for inflation to 2025, that budget would be worth approximately $264 million. shit we waste more money on fucking Pixar movies
>>214488773>he wants a remake of this kinowhy? only point to remake something is to make it better and nobody could do that in the current age
>>214489139Honestly think a lot of the "budgets" of modern CGI slop are Hollywood accounting and money laundering, they would not have gone so full hog with the technology if it was actually more expensive than live sets.
>>214489161OP didn't say anything about remakes retard.
Master and Commander cost 150M to make in 2003, but it didn't make enough money at the box office to break even, and it wasn't enough of an established IP that could be effectively monetized through merchandise deals.That same year X-men 2 cost around 110M to make and made 400M at the box office. That's why we've had two decades of capeslop.
>>214489091>could absolutely pop off if it was marketed right.Except Barbenheimer wasn't big because of marketing, it was big because it happened to become a popular meme that spread organically. This random element is exactly the problem, and means Hollywood suits will continue to throw money at established IPs and "silly" movies over original and serious ones, to maximize their chance to go viral. See: Minecraft Movie, Disney remakes, capeshit.
>>214489235Yeah but the meme only worked because they were both big event tentpole films. They weren't capeshit or anything like that, they were honest to god blockbusters. The point is that audiences still have an appetite for them. Hollywood is just being too cautious.
