End of New Content

  Taking a Breather: What’s Next for This Blog Hey everyone, I hope this post finds you well. First off, let me take a moment to say how much I appreciate you. Whether you’ve been here since the very beginning or just recently stumbled across this little corner of the internet, your time, support, and engagement have meant the world to me. Seriously, thank you for being part of this journey. Now, onto the reason for this post. After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to hit the pause button on creating new blog content for the foreseeable future. I know this might come as a surprise, and I want to be upfront about why I’m making this decision and what it means moving forward. Why the Pause?

Bad movies because of box office sales

                           

Movies today are considered "bad" because they don't or didn't make enough money in ticket sales.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008): This third installment in the "Mummy" franchise was a critical and commercial disappointment, grossing only $403 million worldwide against a production budget of $160 million.

Yes,,408 versus 160 and it was a commercial disappointment.  Ill agree that the movie was not the best out of the three. 

It was however entertaining.

Isn't that what a movie should be,  entertaining? Not every movie made has to lead to a franchise like Marvel's or StarTrek.

I,Frankenstein was entertaining.  It was supposed to be the opening of a modetn day monster movie franchise. I say a modern day monster movie franchise because way back when, there were a series of movies made such as Dracula and the Wolfman and several others.

The whole idea was scrapped because of ticket sales.   It grossed about 77 million on a 65 million dollar budget. 

Tom Cruise's The Mummy was again an attempt at a franchise.  The movie  grossed $410 million, against a production budget of $125 million. All ideas of any future monster movies were thrown off the drawing board because the studio didn't feel that there was enough interest.

I could go on and on with more examples.  I think I've gotten the point across
