[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7639094, member: 22779"] Trying to compare the 1990's to now is pretty difficult. It's such a different market that there really isn't any comparison. I mean, good grief, we're to the point now where TV shows have budgets that put 1990's big tent pole movies to shame. Something like Star Trek Discovery, or Game of Thrones has a budget that dwarfs most big screen offerings. I remember a time when it was always a mark of an actor "making it" when they moved from small to big screen. Now, we're seeing big name actors working on the small screen and it's seen as a step up for their careers. The whole industry is so different now. Oh, and let's not forget that we live in a time when the video game market dwarfs Hollywood. The competition for the entertainment dollar is much greater than it was. And, let's not forget, you have the emerging Chinese market - the second largest movie market outside of the States, where lots of properties work and others completely don't. The Fast and Furious franchise absolutely rakes it in in China, while, Star Wars, for example, tanks. It's a radically different market than 30 years ago. [/QUOTE]
