Why don't any recent movies do these kinds of numbers?

Well most movies don't have Natalie Portman.
Parker Wright
What about Get Out?

Easton Diaz
There's like 2 or 3 interesting movies per year.

>Why don't any recent movies do these kinds of numbers?
Because they all cost $100 million dollars or more. And if execs are spending that much, they refuse to take any chances, and if you refuse to take any chances, the movies are typcially boring, and people won't make an effort to watch them.

Not if they're made by A2A

True because they'd be shit.

Black Swan is a film from an era that is long dead. Thanks to marvel (and Disney in general), 13 million dollars is enough for half of an A-listers salary. If they made Black Swan today with Natalie Portman it would cost 100 million minimum. Film production costs have exploded and it's not just actor salaries either. 13 million dollars is literally peanuts in Hollywood.
Christopher Perry
I meant good movies not arthouse mockbusters.
Andrew Rodriguez
you're acting like low budget indie movies with A listers don't get made anymore
Carson Johnson
Portman was B list when she made Black Swan
It's the movie that made her A list
Owen Torres
At the time, Natalie Portman was only really known because of Star Wars. Also, film costs have tripled since then.
Noah Richardson
are you fags zoomers? portman was definitely A list before black swan, she had oscar nominations and hits outside of star wars like v for vendetta and closer
even got cast in thor before black swan was released
Ryan Turner
Box office receipts fell off a cliff in 2020, so only blockbusters with big marketing have been getting big returns the last two years. Joker did a billion on a $70m budget, though
Sebastian Garcia
Oh, and Us did $255m on a $20m budget, so Peele's two for two there
Jaxson Powell
>Copied Perfect Blue
Gee I wonder why it did so guud hmmm.
Matthew Jackson
>>Copied Perfect Blue
Both movies copied Repulsion and The Tenant, but weebs have no knowledge of movies outside of weebshit.
Oliver Mitchell
>The Tenant
I wouldn't go that far but Repulsion for sure
Henry Robinson
This movie was pre-MCU where people actually went to see films that weren't part of pre-established franchises
