Hooray for Hollywood. It has been a dire decade and a half of film.

For every stupid movie that gets the green light and actually makes money, they release some POS movie that bombs while movies that might do well (like the third Narnia film) get the ax. I never understood why they feel the need to over spend on making these movies. I don't get the logic. They don’t know how to budget things at all.

Those movies have been running on their own power for the last few sequels. As for Dawn Treader, I'm sure they'll consider going back to it once they figure out that it shouldn't cost $200M to make. Even "Return of the King" was made for $94M. I'd really like to know how studios budget things. Their Harry Potter logic escapes me.

I had hopes for the third. I hope they find another studio to fund it. I liked Caspian more than the first. I had hopes for the third. I hope they find another studio to fund it.

With fear that they would make even less at the box office with a third, I can understand Disney backing out of a third one. The last Harry Potter on the other hand made the second most money of any of the 5, and made over 6 times its production budget (over $900M vs. $150M budget). I think the franchise is safe, even if the economy causes them to lose some of their box office. Half or 2/3 or whatever of a ridiculous profit is still a pretty ridiculous profit.
