The corporate ding-dongs don't seem to understand (Gaming)
My completely unrealistic answer is:
1. Lower the production values. Modern audiences have been spoiled rotten. A good story is all that really matters.
2. Start blowing less of the budget on AAA talent. Robert Downey Jr. doesn't need >$100 million to play a comic book villain.
I know this is a pipe dream. I know there are very good financial reasons these seemingly counter-intuitive decisions keep getting made. Yet I cannot shake the feeling that Hollywood is becoming an unsustainable business model.
If nothing changes, the bottom is going to fall out sooner or later.
