>are you trying to assert (on the issue of big budget flops and
>paradigm shifting) that the writer of the "blog" totally went
>off-track from what Spielberg was saying?!?

We didn't get this year flops big enough to back up what Spielberg said as having happened this year. This author wrote it just because Spielberg said it this year and it's a popular talking point. There's no *actual* evidence historically or in this year's results that there were a string of mega-flops this year (or any year yet) that would immediately cause a paradigm shift.

Some of the cited films in the article AREN'T even mega-budget!

CaptNish is precisely right below-- movies will keep getting more franchise-seeking and more expensive.

And THAT, one day, could lead to Spielberg's quote coming true. Certainly not after this summer.
