just

>100 million dollars for A list star celebrities
>50 million dollars for shitty korean CGI shit on everything

Wait there's more? I thought it was only Dracula and The Mummy.

They need to stop.

Universal has nothing else going for them except for Fast and Furious and Jurassic World

sad tbqh

>>83823557
the universal studios tour is still pretty cool, i go every year

>>83823557

they need to start producing more American Pie movies. Sure they are trash for the most part, but there is a severe lack of those types of movies these days.

All kidding aside, The Mummy was a fantastic flick and Tom Cruise is the greatest actor of all time.

>>83822559
this is the 2nd attempt
>bombing
have you seen how much its made worldwide my friend?

>>83824295
you get way less of a cut from worldwide revenue

it needs to do well domestic for them to continue the "universe"

>>83822681
Bardem has Karloff's facial structure, i'm kind of excited.

>>83824341
no it dosent. we could get yearly installments of fast and furious just on what it makes in china. yeah they dont get as much, but they still get plenty to keep making them, look at transformers

>>83824247
This

>>83824204
american pie shared universe when

>>83824465

i just want somewhat decently produced lewd teen/college comedies. All of the current ones try to be like a typical indie movie.

>>83823547

>Kaiju universe
>Dead after Godzilla fights Kong because nobody cares about Mothra or Gamora

Only Marvel and DC can pull this shit off because they have decades of interconnected stories to work with

>>83822559
So these are the four attempts imo, all attempted to start a series
>Dracula 2000
>Van helsing
>Dracula untold
>the mummy

>>83824567

What about the Wolfman and Van Helsing?

>>83824883

Sorry, meant Wolfman and I,Frankenstein

>>83824567
The Mummy actually succeeded. Great freaking flick. Have you seen it? See it today. It's unironically great.

>>83824465
They need the American Pie movies to be in a shared universe with Universal Monsters

eeewwww, whats a mentally handicapped person doing here?

>>83825045
And Transformers.

>>83824408
>look at this franchise which makes a billion worldwide

No anon, look at Terminator Genysis

Bombed domestically, made 500 million worldwide. They still cancelled the franchise plans.

>>83824959
>The Mummy actually succeeded.

Doesn't a studio get like 30% from foreign markets? So so far the studio has only got 42 million dollars from them and 16 domestically. so it would have to do the same amount for the next 3 weekends in both markets to cover the budget and marketing. Yeah this universe is fucked

>>83825119

The fast and the furious movies still do over 200mil domestically. They aren't the total bombs that Genisys and The Mummy are

>>83824559
Theyre all """raunchy""" comedies with no nudity.

And they all star either Aubrey Plaza or Zac Efron or both.

>>83824561
Considering they couldn't even make Kong in the same tone as Godzilla 2014 I don't even know if that crossover will work

>>83824959
No thanks, i didn't say any of those were bad I just said they were all attempts to create an on going franchise, this being the most recent

>>83824959
>>83824462
>>83824247
What's wrong with you people?

>>83825181
I meant when he said "look at transformers"

>>83824916
The wolfman seemed like a standalone it didnt really lend itself to sequels, I Frankenstein? Yea you could inculde that although that seemed more just an attempt to create a series for Eckhart it didn't seem to be going for a shared universe like those 4

>>83825340
Scientology IDF has been out in force since the shit reviews rolled in

Here's a better idea I had in the fucking shower:
>Wolfman: Guy gets the curse, turns into the werewolf and goes berserk, gets captured by Prodigium. We're introduced to Old Van Helsing, he's the leader, Young Van Helsing, his son and main field operator, and Dr Jekyll.
>They're finding a cure for Lycanthropy and hunting down the alpha Werewolf. There's a fight between Hyde and the Wolf Man in the middle for hype. Frankenstein gets shown frozen in ice.
>Wolfman wins but they don't have the cure, so he decides to stay with Prodigium and help them. Post credits is Jekyll showing the place to Wolf, they've become close friends because of the "uncontrollable monster" thing, they stop at a mystery coffin.

>Next up is Invisibile Man. It just ends with Griffin getting called by Prodigium. Jekyll will help him on an antidote for his invisibility.

>Bride of Frankenstein is next. Dr Pretorious has found Frankenstein's old research and is continuing it, and at the same time, an accident leads to Mr Hyde releasing the original Monster from ice. Monster finds a blind guy in the woods and learns how to talk and all that. In the end the Monster, now taking it's father's name, confronts the bride and tries to reason with her. Crying when he sees she'll never be anything but a monster, he kills her.
>Back at prodigium, the world goes dark and a castle is reported to have risen in Transylvania.

>Crossover movie: Dracula's back and he's brought the apocalypse with him. Old Van Helsing gets the team together.
>Everyone butts heads at first, especially with Griffin since he's a dick.
>Dracula kills papa Van Helsing. His son is told to open the coffin.
>The original Van Helsing is there, turns he was turned into a vampire aswell.
>Final fight between Dracula and OG Helsing, in all ends in the sun. Van Helsing dies with the creature he dedicated his whole life to hunting.
>Phase 2 is set up with Young Van Helsing having to lead and The Mummy as the big bad.
There, so easy it's dumb.

Say what you like. But Bill Condon directing Javier Bardem as the Frankenstein monster is something I am in for.

>>83826266
>>83824567

>>83824295
>have you seen how much its made worldwide my friend?
Yeah, barely more than WW did and that one did almost 3 times more domestically.

>>83823231

Only really applies to F&F and The Mummy.

Jurassic World was rolling the dice with Pratt since GotG hadn't even been released. Casting a three-line-a-movie actor with a recurring turned main role in a TV comedy was a huge risk.

and Warcraft was packed with C listers. Putting 160m against Ragnar was always going to fail to attract everyone that aren't WoW cucks.

>4th
1.) Dracula Untold
2.) Mummy

????

What is the end game exactly anyhow? Like I'm kind of into the idea of monsters teaming up to do... something... but what the fuck are they going to do? Like who is the "Thanos" of this universe that all the connection are going to eventually come to?

>>83822559
Who's Bardem gonna play?

>>83826846
I Frankenstein

>>83826900
Frankenstein's monster

>>83826874
Probably Dracula

I,Frankenstein and Dracula 2000 where not Universal pictures

>>83826846
No really they tried to start a series with Dracula 2000, then a few years later tried again with van helsing, then a few years later tried again with Dracula untold, and now their trying again with the mummy, the wolfman is clearly a standalone

>>83826958
I. Frankenstein was never connected with the dark universe and Universal said, even before release, that it was unrelated

>>83825465
Haha, that doesn't exist. The Mummy is pretty good, though. I'd give it a 4.9 out of 5. Not TC's best but def worth a watch, homies.

>>83827125
your thetan levels are showing

>>83827035
Dracula 2000 was released by miramax, as a joint production with universal

>>83827071
Dracula 2000 had sequels in 2003 and 2005
Van Helsing came out in 2004
Dracula 2000 is Dimension films not Universal

>>83826874
Dracula, Death, or Satan, probably all 3 in one person.

>>83826874
>who is the "Thanos" of this universe
Metacritic

>>83826987
Giant face of sand vs giant fist of bats.

>>83827272
yes I know they were all attempts to start a 'monster' universe, dracula 2000 failed kinda, so they pumped out a bunch of awful sequels direct to video stuff, not that 2000 was any good

Will The Rock be reprising his role as The Scorpion King?

>>83826874
Cthulhu

>that literal who actress

>>83827225
>as a joint production with universal
Source on that? There's no mention of Universal in relation to Dracula 2000 anywhere i can find.

>>83822559
that photo is so cringy, everyone but that girl could be doing something better, the girl is just happy to be there after sucking so much cock she earned it to be sure, but the other guys? wow

>>83827868
>>83822559
What the fuck is going on with Russell Crowe in this picture?
Did they just photoshop his face onto a mannequin or something?

>>83827985
There's that too, and the fact that they again used every possible trick to make Cruise look taller
