Very hard to even imagine comedies or a thriller movie getting into the top 15 movies of the decade now.
2010s is all Marvel/DC, Star Wars, and Disney/Pixar animation. |
Look at all those original source material blockbusters! There are some sequels in there, but sequels to other 80s or late 70s movies.
Is no one ever going to take a chance on making the next Star Wars, Indiana Jones or Back to the Future?
Marvel movies are so tiresome to me now. Interestingly though, Disney is not dominating 2022 at all at the box office so far.

I don't know if people are getting tired of the Disney franchises, or if they have just shifted their money and talent to producing Disney+ content.
