Soooo....Mass Effect 3

[Jester]

Did you totally miss that his last three films bombed horribly? He lost money in all three of the last films in total gross.

How could I "totally miss" something that's not even true?

Devil: $10 million budget, $63 million gross.

The Happening: $60 million budget, $163 million gross.

The Last Airbender: $150 million budget, $320 million gross.

Take a look at the difference between what he made in total money from Sixth Sense vs. what it cost and then look at his last three films in the total money made and what each cost. He's been on a downward trend since Signs. If it weren't for the fact that he's producing himself, he'd not be making movies at all.

This doesn't even make any sense. The trend is irrelevant. Orson Welles was on a downward trend since Citizen Kane, but he still got to make Touch of Evil. The Sixth Sense was a huge breakout blockbuster hit. Not surprising that he hasn't topped it.

If you want to say that "you have to listen to your consumers, or you'll lose money," then I agree - but you need an example that actually works. Shymalan is not that example.
