Why the sudden explosion?
Money is the major root of it all, 2014 was well below all expectations and profits dried up in a manner of speaking, when compared to any other year of this decade. The blame belongs solely on the studio executives for looking too far ahead with Star Wars, Batman/Superman and Avengers. While not giving the audience of today anything to build towards as a summer blockbuster for the year of present. It was by February 2014, that those 3 films were announced and all we had to look at was Divergent.
Instead we got Tammy (starring Melissa McCarthy) for July 4th weekend, and Transformers Age of Extinction as our headlining Summer blockbuster movie, and both were duds. The people around the world and in North America had the World Cup, And studios didn't bother to compete with network television. The only stellar film that held the box office was rise of the Planet of the Apes, and that was it for 3 months until Mid-August when The Guardians of the Galaxy swooped in and saved the day.
As a result, to prevent a drought, a super-saturation of a "sure thing" over 5 years was created. Myself, as a young boy I wanted to see a Justice League movie or Avengers being made into a movie, and now we are finally getting it.
The audience condition - is that with the money being thrown into producing all these films we the audience will get quality in both star power and big budget theatrics. Fans are very critical, just ask Halle Berry and her take on Catwoman.
Growing up watching Superstars of Wrestling I always yearned for more than just one hour a week.
Fast forward to present day, and we have over 6 hours a week on network TV and now a 24/7 online Network Service, and a 3 hour show every monday. And the quality is not there; as a result the subscribers for the online network is well below expectations, and only time will tell over the next 5 years. How anyone will do (Wrestling environment or Motion picture vs streaming vs the audience apetite), but as a fan whose boyhood dreams are being realized. It is with certainty you have an eager audience, built-in just salivating to watch, but if the quality wavers even by even a margin, it can have a devastating effect on the future of films slated for release.
2020 update.. besides fast and furious 9 slated for a May 2020 release. All other expectations were either pushed further to a 2021 release or have been completely dropped due lack of studio confiedence or poor reception and ticket sales at the box office.
