yes you did forget something
the studios are missing the boat looking to make blockbuster movies
with blockbuster budgets.
but they don't have to!
Reality TV has shown that potential films like At Home With the
Kardashians, Snooki and the Snake, Surviving Lying, Twerk Til You
Twitter and Bieber's Bungle would make bazillions and not even have
one real star featured! Only Twerk and Bieber's Bungle would require
the participation of anyone with "talent" and it couldn't be
more obvious what blockbuster boxoffice booms any of them would be

Some big-budget movies underperform, some made money, some stars had
a movie that didn't live up to their expectations, some did just as
they expeccted, they release too many in a limited timeframe,
studios need to remember minorities, and foreign box-office is
becoming more important.
Anything I'm forgetting? Pretty standard stuff.

Yes, Sean, overall box office is good, but the
big-bloat-blockbuster-blahs has set in. This is well reported in the
press; here is an article by Ann Hornaday, film critic
for The Washington Post, reprinted here in the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette.

And I'm not sure your assertion about what Fox would and would not
"green light" is accurate.

By "disappointing summer of mediocre box office" I assume you mean
films to your taste, as gross receipts themselves are once again on
pace for a record-breaking year (up over 10% from five years ago
and up nearly 1% from last year's all-time record).
And of course without releases like the Croods, and The Heat, Fox
would never green-light a film like The Way, Way Back.

THE WAY, WAY BACK.
I finally got to see this movie yesterday and although it's been
out for a while, it is utterly refreshing. Good cast too. Steve
Carrell plays the
UNsympathetic character for once and Alllison Janney is great. All
the cast is good, in a warm and funny film with just enough edge! Liam James
is great as the kid!
So if you're as tired of the bloat the Big Hollywood execs should
be after a disppointing summer of mediocre box office, see this
movie. IMDB.pro
reports the budget at 4.6 million and the box office in the U.S. as
18.6 million. It just goes to show that story and talent count.
