Looking over films listed there for 2015 I see a trend of lower budget releases relatively in Hollywood these days. None of those seem poised for huge numbers, with maybe Chappie having possible modest success.

We live in an era of franchises, and Sony's big two (Bond and Spider-Man) are absent for this time frame. We all know Spectre is what they are betting everything on and guessing Marvel/Disney deal with Spider-Man will get them some money (I don't know specifics).

On flip side Universal is killing it at box office, mainly thanks to major franchises. People complain about them, but when that is what is making money I don't blame studios for pushing them.
