Short term yesLast Voyage of the Demeter had a great script and Abigail was pretty fun. There is, unfortunately, no magic "make this movie succeed" button, as much as we'd like there to be.
Look at this from the perspective of a studio for a second. Out of Universal's last four monster movies, only the one released by Blumhouse was a huge hit with both audiences and critics. If you go off of that, hiring Blumhouse for another would be the smartest move.
But even if people like the new Invisible man film, there isn't much merch or like ways to really do more with these films. They come out people say they like them....but I've never met anyone who is like really into Blumhouses Invisibleman...and they don't even include it in houses because its just not made in a way that high lights the character in a way that can be as easily translated to the parks
I will say this new film, I could see it working because it reminds me of Evil Dead and they made a house for it...but if the designs from HHN are anything to go off...I doubt anyone is buying merch for that film...lol
I agree its not easy but to me the last attempts just didn't really feels like things I needed to seeI just think it's worth flagging up that it's very hard to write a good script for a television commercial, let alone a feature length movie. That's not to say bad scripting shouldn't be criticized (it should!) but there are times when even a good effort leads to a poor result.
I'd also add the pretty terrible Mario Bros. movie as an example of poor scripting that most fans aren't all that concerned about.
I also dislike that Illunation can just get away with it everytime but it is what is, I mean they should be kinda embarrassed Sonic is making better films then them but they are making more money so I bet they don't care
