![]() (Who now owns Alien and Predator) If you are going to throw a wad a cash at only 8 movies a year, you want to maximize the ticket sales. Looking at it from a Disney exec's point of view. I think the simple answer is that there is no incentive for major studios to invest in a good movie that doesn't have a universal enough appeal. Is it too much to ask for just one decent modern film from any of these franchises? Heck, even Rambo of all things got a shot of new life with the 2008 film. 2012's Dredd proved that a modern gritty sci-fi/action flick can be done with the similar feel as the 80's greats. Batman Begins proved it's possible to resurrect a franchise fallen into mediocrity. It's not like great action/sci-fi isn't possible or that older franchises can't be given a new of life. And following Robocop 2, that franchise went PG-13 for some reason with both Robocop 3 and the 2014 reboot following suite. 2010's Predators was okay, but nothing special. ![]() The Terminator and Alien franchises have become a large mess ranging from mediocre entries to outright garbage. However, since then there really hasn't been anything done that well with any of these franchises. The original Predator and Robocop movies were also great, albeit followed up by not-so-great sequels. The original Alien and Terminator films were great and followed by arguably superior sequels.
