In 2013, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas predicted the film industry as we know it would “implode” if/when, in the near future, too many wildly expensive blockbuster movies flopped. And if ever there were a year for an implosion on that scale to occur it would be 2018, the year when there are nearly as many major studio tentpole releases as there are weeks in the year. Well, here’s the thing …
2018 will see the release over 40 massive, tentpole movies. There are nearly 20 releases that happen exactly a week apart. This means that Marvel’s Black Panther will have only a week to make most of its money before Pacific Rim 2 steals its audience, which will give the unnamed Marvel/Fox movie a week to make its money before Wreck-It Ralph 2 comes out, which will only have a week before The Flash and/or Tomb Raider comes out, because Warner Bros. is dumb and scheduled two of their own tentpole movies for the same day. And all of those movies will be released in February and March, the two months studios usually use as a landfill to dump the movies they think suck. The year isn’t just crowded; it’s a clusterfuck, and there are going to be big casualties. There are too many massive movies and not enough people to watch them.
Aqui una lista de los estrenos de alto presupuesto del 2018:
Avengers: Infinity War, Ready Player One, Pacific Rim 2, Aquaman, Toy Story 4, Deadpool 2, Black Panther, The Flash, How To Train Your Dragon 3, Ant-Man And The Wasp, Jurassic World 2, The Predator, Fifty Shades Freed, Jungle Book: Origins, Marry Poppins Returns, Tomb Raider, Alita: Battle Angel, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them 2, The Secret Life Of Pets 2, an animated Spider-Man movie, Hotel Transylvania 3, The Wolf Man, Wreck-It Ralph 2, the Star Wars Han Solo spinoff, the Transformers Bumblebee spinoff, Maze Runner: The Death Cure, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Gigantic (Disney’s next hand-drawn animated musical). Madagascar 4, Independence Day 3, Gambit (an X-Men spinoff), The Invisible Man, Venom (a Spider-Man spinoff), Uprising (Bryan Singer’s big-budget movie about a war on the goddamn moon),Mission: Impossible 6.
(Nota: algunos de estos estrenos aun no se han confirmado, como ID3)
En resumen, Hollywood esta sacando demasiadas superproducciones, demasiadas peliculas de alto presupuesto, y como el publico, y el dinero del publico, es limitado, es muy posible que hayan varios desastres de taquilla, y a las peliculas que les ira bien no ganaran tanto dinero como antes, todo eso podria hacer simplemente colapsar el sistema y la forma en que Hollywood ha estado trabajando las ultimas dos decadas.
The Huntsman: Winter's War y Alicia mas alla del espejo fueron segundas partes de peliculas exitosas pero terminaron siendo fracasos de taquilla, y hay mas ejemplos de mega-fracasos: el llanero solitario, Pan, Trascendence, John Carter de Marte... Solo piensen en cuan populares fueron las peliculas de vaqueros durante varias decadas ¿cuantas del mismo genero se hacen actualmente?
¿Que opinan ustedes?
