Too risky. We're not even sure if black people like movies. Sure they like Tyler Perry but we're talking about real movies! Lets bet 350 million on Taylor Kitch instead... *sniffs coke* *molests young child actor* *pause*
so i'm sitting here looking at the last several black films that had a low budget and the results which wasn't bad

Who the fukk gave the greenlight to Ben Hur?!?!
You know you can sell these jews on great biblical movies.. all the remakes of classica have been pure trash.. Ben Hurr and 10 Commandments.. and that gawd awful Noahs Ark movie.. my gawd
ORDER_66
I am The Wrench in all your plans....
I totally forgot about that noah's ark movie....How you have a war movie in the story of noah's ark?!!?
Who be greenlighting these shyts?!!?Movie's need to be original if it aint epic like Gladiator or Fun like 300 these sand & sandal old reboots revamps suck...
The free market has spoken and finally the idea of tent-pole films no longer being a home run is starting to hit the movie industry. Flops are good imho as it shows you are doing something wrong. In this case, TIID left a bad taste in many people's mouths and without Trek being in the consumers memory (ie TOS, TNG area films) then it is hard to gain new viewers.
Demographics have changed and the folks who could see movies pre-recession had disposable income, not so much now. Blu-ray and Chill in a few months versus 20 minutes of trailers and 40 on tix and popcorn....
Even beyond those pitfalls, the movie industry is lazy as is using throwing whatever they can at the wall in hopes of sticking at the cost of quality for the consumer....did the general public really need?:
Jonah Hex
Green Lantern
Hangover 2/3
Pirates 4?
Freddy Remake
FF reboot
Sin City 2
Lone Ranger
Robocop reboot
Spiderman reboots
John Carter
TMNT 2
Zoolander 2
Dumb and Dumber To lol
What's next, Blank Check or Home Alone reboot?

A string of terrible movies can and will kill a franchise. Just look at Batman after Schumacher
Even doe their not making the movies, DC is taking an absolute beating as a brand because of WB's incompetence

Alot of these studios use small budget black films to fund the bigger films they put out.. They've been doing this since blaxpoitation films.... MGM got themselves out of financial trouble with the blaxpoitation genre. back in the early 70's.. It's why black movies don't get big budgets but they will greenlight a movie like Ben Hur. that no one cares about
Don't be surprised if Paramount starts doing the same especially knowing they have Fences coming out during awards season which is almost guaranteed to be a success considering the possible nominations.
