The current standings for the box office as of now are:
- Avengers: Infinity War
- Black Panther
- Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
- Incredibles 2
- Deadpool 2
- Mission: Impossible – Fallout
- Ant-Man and the Wasp
- Ready Player One
- Hong Hai Xing Dong
- Tang Ren Jie Tan An 2
The majority of films that are on this list are considerably reliant on special effects and the genre of action, which would imply the industry has noticed they have become a good investment, following the successes of superhero movies, most notably the Marvel franchise.
This may be to do with a struggle to entice people to visit the cinema, as there are so many platforms that allow you to watch movies with relatively more convenience. This also has made the mass audience a lot less open minded on welcoming unknown content, which at home they can turn off immediately, unavailable when at the cinema.
Therefore, it can be argued people are now adamant to visit the cinema, which studios have started to try and bypass by choosing to create adapted content, or continuing on franchises of older movies.It offers people a secure choice that when they see it advertised, they resonate with it and are more willing to see it.
This can be proven significantly with the current standings on the box office, with 8 either being a sequel of a created movie, or an adaptation on original content. This solidifies the modern intent of film creators, but is sadly detrimental to the film culture as a whole. It is unlikely this generation will be remembered upon as a time of cinema classic that it had the potential to be, with our modernized technology and communication.
