Guys, this is just like Hollywood. Think "Pirates of the Caribbean" or "Day After Tomorrow" are the things that studios make money off of?

No, they make money of cheap movies like "Big Fat Greek Wedding" and "Knocked Up". Studios like making huge blockbuster movies that bring the company lots of prestige, but between CGI costs, advertising budgets, and paying AAA actors, those movies barely break even. Studios make their money on those cheap comedy movies and use the profit to fund huge budget action movies.

Same with game studios, obviously Crysis and Assassin's Creed are games you want associated with your company. People want to make these games and have them on their resumès. Does it matter that they will only sell 1/10th that of Pokemon? Not really, its all in prestige, companies like Ubisoft want to be able to walk into a conference and say "Look at this shiny new action game!" rather than say "Look at this puzzle game for the DS, it looks like something a budget studio made but it will sell."

WTF

do you have a brain ? they made 3 pirates movies for one simple ass reason, THEY MADE lots of MONEY.

 

 For once I must agree with Hus, Pirates made a LOT of money and I mean a LOT.
