The most successful movies are the most expensive (Spider Man, Pirates, Bond etc.) it doesn't mean you can't generate a huge cash without huge budget (lets say Passion of the Christ) but it's definitely easier to attract people with great setting. Good games sell. Resistance was the closest to the expectation of gamers. Heavenly Sword would be a first huge success of PS3 game. |
In terms of Gross Revinue the most successful movies are usually the most expensive, in terms of return on investment successful movies usually have very modest budgets. Consider that Spiderman 3 will have to Gross over $500 Million to match the return on investment of Snakes on a Plane, over $5 Billion to match the return on investment of Good Will Hunting , or over $200 Billion to match the return on investment of the Blair Witch Project.
I'm not saying that I know what the strategy of producers is, but it seems to me that it makes more sense to create 25 movies at $10 Million a piece than a $250 Movie...
