However the Boy Who Lived formed the film trade in broader methods than the $7.7bn field workplace take they’d ultimately earn over the span of 10 years. Harry Potter kicked off a artistic arms race to search out the subsequent Harry Potter that Warner Bros. continues to be chasing with the April 2023 announcement of a brand new TV sequence primarily based on Rowling’s books.
Pottermania impressed unsuccessful makes an attempt to adapt the Alex Rider sequence (in 2006’s Stormbreaker), Percy Jackson’s sequence, Philip Pullman’s His Darkish Supplies, The Books of Ember, Darren Shan’s The Vampire’s Assistant… All targeted not solely on easy adaptation, however on longevity and brand-building. Literary worlds as wealthy as Narnia, the Divergent universe, and the wonderful world of Maze Runner all failed by Harry Potter’s requirements.
And for relative successes like The Spiderwick Chronicles, there have been a number of disappointments, till Twilight, and The Starvation Video games each recaptured among the magic.

December 15, 2005
Whereas it has not change into the direct-to-audience film platform the YouTube Purple aspirations could have prompt at one time, YouTube basically modified your entire panorama of the trade. Film trailers got here out of the cinema, with YouTube first day viewing figures usually held up as a tangible metric of hype. Arguably extra importantly, YouTube additionally activated a era of creator critics, in a position to supply more and more excessive manufacturing instant reactions that shortly changed in-person post-screening vox pops.

28 The 2007-2008 Writers Strike
November 5, 2007 – February 12, 2008

Whereas the DVD residuals proposals finally led to no change, the brand new media challenge protected the Guild from the rise of streaming, years forward of its onset.
Inevitably, the strike motion got here with enormous ramifications throughout the trade.

Heath Ledger’s loss of life in 2008 was a seismic occasion that had comparatively inconsequential results just like the affect on The Darkish Knight‘s advertising and marketing marketing campaign. Finally, Ledger would change into solely the second actor to ever win a posthumous Oscar (after Peter Finch in 1977 for Community) for his efficiency because the Joker. His loss of life additionally sparked a morbid fascination in information cycles, as a deeply private tragedy turned the supply of conspiracy theories round his methodology strategy to capturing the long-lasting Batman villain.

Then Johnny Depp, Jude Regulation, and Colin Farrell – all shut buddies of Ledger – changed him in numerous scenes, explaining his character Tony showing otherwise within the movie’s totally different worlds. Whereas Tom Cruise additionally expressed curiosity in showing, Gilliam determined to maintain it as a “household” affair, preserving a near-unprecedented creative homage to Ledger made within the instant aftermath of his loss of life.
26 Avatar Turns into The Largest Film Of All Time (Twice)
December 17, 2009
When Display screen Rant began, it had been 6 years because the final James Cameron movie, and can be one other 6 earlier than his subsequent launched. The director had thrown his endorsement behind McG’s Terminator 3: The Rise of the Machines and launched Titanic sub documentary Ghosts of the Abyss, but it surely wouldn’t be till 2009’s Avatar that he as soon as once more proved himself as King of the World.
Within the years since, it turned well-liked to bash Avatar for its simplistic Pocahontas-aping plot and a perceived lack of cultural affect (ignoring the technical improvements mentioned later on this article that turned the norm). What ought to by no means be forgotten is how Cameron is able to creating international attraction hits. Avatar opened to glowing critiques, and, after a blended opening weekend, had field workplace legs properly into 2010, coasting previous Titanic to change into the highest-grossing film of all time. It held the title till 2019, when Avengers: Endgame inched previous, however reclaimed it with a neatly timed China re-release forward of belated sequel Avatar: The Means of Water.
The Avatar franchise is poised to be an vital a part of Display screen Rant’s protection properly into the subsequent decade. After Cameron proved his critics improper with The Means of Water, at the moment the third-highest grossing film of all time, there’s three extra sequels on the best way by way of to 2031.
25 3D Returns (Briefly)
Probably the most instant impacts of Avatar’s $2.7 billion success was the return of the film gimmick that refuses to actually die: 3D. It could have had an identical red-and-blue heyday within the Fifties and Nineteen Eighties, however this time it was an overhauled tech (card glasses have been out, polarized lenses have been in) and utilized to the glitziest blockbusters reasonably than third entries in horror franchises.
Though 3D had been on the up for a few years earlier than, it was Avatar that made it a must have. A wave of unexpectedly retrofitted releases in 2010 (most notoriously with Conflict of the Titans) muted among the awe, however nonetheless helped motion pictures like Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland change into billion greenback hits. For a number of years, 3D – with a requisite upcharge – was the default for tentpole releases, no matter viewers curiosity.
Ultimately, across the mid-2010s, this had died out, though not earlier than a smattering of massive identify administrators making wholly distinctive motion pictures: Ang Lee’s Lifetime of Pi, Martin Scorsese’s Hugo and, cream of the crop, Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity. The pattern and elevated entry to digital projection additionally noticed an increase in high-frame-rate productions, with Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit and Lee’s Gemini Man. Cameron once more proved the grasp when he lastly launched Avatar: The Means of Water in motion-smoothing HFR to minimal backlash.
24 The Second Disney Animation Renaissance
2006
In 2003, the Disney Renaissance was properly and really over. Pixar had established itself as the brand new animation kings and the Home of Mouse’s competing efforts had begun to point out indicators of damage (2003 was Brother Bear, a 12 months later got here the critically savaged Residence on the Vary). A shift into 3D did nothing to enhance hopes.
Change started with Disney buying Pixar from Steve Jobs in 2006 and John Lasseter stepping as much as lead the whole animation output. Cell animation was left within the mud, however the artistic ingenuity (and musical focus) returned. Right this moment, Tangled, Frozen, Zootopia and Moana stand comfortably within the Disney pantheon alongside The Little Mermaid, Magnificence and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King.
Though that period appears now to have additionally ended, with a string of misses and Illumination and Sony Animation offering extra well-liked options, Disney nonetheless reveals it could actually seize curiosity uniquely after the mega streaming launch of Encanto in 2022.
23 The Hobbit Turns into A Trilogy, Peter Jackson Has A Breakdown
Jul 30, 2012
The earliest article on The Hobbit on Display screen Rant was revealed on Could 25, 2009. Initially supposed to be directed by Guilermo del Toro, the pitch was a stylistically-distinct Center-earth journey that, over two motion pictures, would inform the story of Bilbo Baggins and evolve into the unique motion pictures.
That’s not what we received. Ultimately, del Toro left and, with the stress of finances and launch date bearing down, Jackson took over as director. Then, months earlier than the primary film – An Surprising Journey – launched, it was introduced that The Hobbit would change into a trilogy. Assumed to be a results of company greed, the film’s personal behind-the-scenes documentary The Appendicies revealed a manufacturing pushed to breaking level, with Jackson writing the afternoon’s scripts on his lunch break. Whereas the 5 studios behind the undertaking wouldn’t balk at extra launch dates, the selection appears to return as a lot from Jackson as anyone else.
Though reactions to An Surprising Journey hewed optimistic in 2012, opinion slowly soured because the bloated, unreal The Desolation of Smaug and The Battle of the 5 Armies launched. Now, with a number of glorious analyses of the films from the likes of Simply Write and Lindsay Ellis, their place as a misfire is ready.
Peter Jackson, for his half, has modified his profession, specializing in restoring outdated footage for uniquely compelling documentaries on the First World Warfare and The Beatles’ Get Again classes.
22 The Avengers Begins A Shared Universe Arms Race
April 26, 2012
It is nearly unthinkable now, however earlier than Iron Man (2008) kick-started the MCU, the concept of shared universes throughout a number of motion pictures or TV reveals have been a gimmick for essentially the most half. Uncommon examples like Dan Aykroyd’s cameo in Casper, or Kevin Smith’s Askewniverse crossing over with Scream 3 have been off-hand rarities. The Common Monsters franchise, and Godzilla’s shared world have been the trend-setters, but it surely wasn’t till the MCU that shared universes turned a model determination.
Even the MCU struggled with confidence to start with: whereas Samuel L Jackson’s Nick Fury appeared within the Iron Man post-credits scene, an Avengers film was not firmly deliberate, and all the things was depending on Jon Favreau’s gamble paying off. When it did, all the things modified, lurching ahead and establishing a pattern for all the things, in every single place, unexpectedly being linked. Since then, the DCEU and DCU, Sony’s Spider-Verse, the Wizarding World, the MonsterVerse, Sonic’s Cinematic Universe, and the Hanna-Barbera shared universe have all adopted.
21 Disney Buys Lucasfilm, Reboots Star Wars
Oct 30, 2012
“Sure, you learn that headline accurately (and no, this isn’t some kind of elaborate hoax… we predict).” started Display screen Rant’s protection of Disney’s buy of Lucasfilm and announcement of a sequel trilogy. So surprising was the information after George Lucas wrapped up the prequel trilogy and pivoted into animation. Thought lifeless, resigned to TV and video video games, Star Wars was properly and really again.
The following story is one in every of gentle and darkish. Suspicious at first, Star Wars fandom was received round with the appointment of JJ Abrams as director of Star Wars 7, which introduced again the unique forged of Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher alongside newcomers Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver and John Boyega. The Drive Awakens opened to a media hype not often seen, grossing over $2 billion worldwide and sparking a galaxy of theories. The trilogy’s subsequent motion pictures each grossed over $1 billion every.
Manufacturing points marred the hassle from the beginning, with a revolving door of writers and administrators on nearly each undertaking (the one film to have a reportedly clean manufacturing was Rian Johnson’s perennially divisive Star Wars: The Final Jedi). Issues reached a peak when Phil Lord and Chris Miller have been fired 80% of the best way by way of creating Solo: A Star Wars Story, changed for intensive reshoots with Ron Howard. Though the film marked Star Wars’ first flop, it was The Rise of Skywalker that left audiences most perplexed.
Star Wars has since pivoted to streaming TV with a military of prequel, sequel and spinoff reveals increasing the universe, forward of a return to theaters with three upcoming motion pictures introduced.

20 A24, Blumhouse & Elevated Horror
2015 Onwards
Horror purists could balk on the suggestion that horror ever wanted enchancment, but it surely’s truthful to say that important consensus has at all times considered horror by way of a separate filter. The Academy usually ignores the style, regardless of any and all metrics of recognition and typical success, and it is taken the rise of cool indie powerhouses A24 and Blumhouse to redefine horror to power a rethink. Off the again of a comparative wilderness interval for horror by way of the primary a part of the twenty first century, provocative, deep-thinking horror turned outlined as “elevated horror”. Stand-outs like Robert Eggers’ The Witch (2015), Jordan Peele’s Get Out (2017), and Ari Aster’s Hereditary (2018) launch in stark distinction to a budget thrills of the earlier decade.
Intriguingly, the subgenre class is not one which sits comfortably with a whole lot of the film-makers concerned; Peele, for example, is on document as saying the time period is a “entice”. However it persists all the identical, as a shift in ideology; a extra contemplative, discourse-inspiring assortment of horror motion pictures designed to impress thought as a lot as concern. Dread replaces bounce scares (although the film-makers are cautious to not substitute the pillars of horror film-making), and the vibe change is arguably extra a few totally different solution to have interaction the viewers than it’s about utterly redefining the films.
19 Streaming Providers Make Their Personal TV & Motion pictures
Considerably inevitably, Netflix’s success bred like-minded competitors, as studios belatedly started a digital arms race for their very own proprietary platforms. Netflix’s technique advanced to incorporate each vastly costly auteur tasks like Scorsese’s The Irishman, and offering a platform for big-name administrators, in addition to mid-level budgeted tasks that few different studios would make. And on the similar time, Disney, Warner Bros, Paramount, Common, and Apple launched streaming companies to accommodate their very own catalogs and as a direct play for subscriptions.
Naturally, these platforms wanted a solution to differentiate themselves and supply subscribers unique content material as an enriched promoting level past the attraction of comfort. With titles break up throughout so many fashions, exclusives shortly turned the deciding issue within the subscription wars, with hundreds of thousands poured into fascinating audiences. Apple pumps enormous manufacturing budgets into originals with out the identical stress heaped on early views – Netflix’s obvious metric of selection – as a substitute delivering audience-centric productions seemingly targeted fully on high quality over attain.
18 The Sony Hack
November 24, 2014
In early December 2014, hackers, who recognized themselves because the “Guardians of Peace” claimed accountability for an assault on Sony Photos that had begun on the finish of November. Demanding the instant removing of The Interview from Sony’s launch date, the GOP warned of violent penalties if phrases weren’t met. The Interview was, after all, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s satirical black comedy a few fictional plot to assassinate North Korean chief Kim Jong Un (Randall Park).
The hackers stole information from Sony Photos’ laptop community, with most consideration specializing in leaks regarding manufacturing internal workings and unreleased motion pictures. Inevitably, salacious particulars like trade gossip, hints of unrevealed conflicts, and embarrassing personal criticism of Sony’s personal motion pictures dominated information protection.
Considerably inevitably, North Korea denied all involvement, regardless of FBI proof, however the harm was carried out as Sony Photos co-chair Amy Pascal resigned in shame. The Interview was launched, with some alterations, on December 25, 2014, with one of the infamous cyber assaults in fashionable historical past in its rear mirror.
17 Billion Greenback Grossers Develop into The Norm
In 2006’s The Vacation, Eli Wallach’s Arthur Abbott decries the change in Hollywood since his days as a author, bemoaning how “field workplace outcomes [are] reported like baseball scores on the nightly information.” That metric of success is nothing new: certainly, Selection has reported the top-grossing movies of yearly since 1932, so Abbott was maybe craving for a Hollywood that by no means existed. However within the final 20 years, a noticeable shift has fashioned across the vaunted standing of the Billion Greenback Film. Aside from three Nineteen Nineties releases – Jurassic Park (1993), Titanic (1997), and Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999) – each billion greenback film’s launch date has began with 20.
The place as soon as, a ten determine field workplace haul was an outlier, it is now extra than simply an aspiration for blockbusters. The tradition of franchise motion pictures and sequels implies that Hollywood prime tables actively talk about billion greenback prospects as a check of funding viability. Given escalating manufacturing and advertising and marketing prices, this was as a lot a necessity as a nefarious cash seize. Discourse across the prime degree franchises – something made by Marvel, Disney, DC, starring James Bond or Harry Potter characters, or productions costing $200m and up – proclaims a sub-billion greenback consequence a failure. In actuality, solely a small proportion of flicks ever hit the milestone, however that has on no account modified the dialog.
16 Oscars So White
January 2015
In January 2015, mere moments after the announcement of that 12 months’s Oscar nominees, activist April Reign began the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag on Twitter in January 2015.

Requires re-evaluation of the nomination course of targeted criticism on the Academy’s predominantly older and white membership, which in flip led to very public boycotts by the likes of Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee.
The protest led to the promise of wholesale adjustments, because the Academy introduced key initiatives to extend its personal membership range and inside nominees. These included efforts to recruit a extra various membership, revise voting procedures, and broaden the variety of potential nominees in sure classes. For all of the positivity of these adjustments, there’s clearly nonetheless work to do. In January 2020, Issa Rae introduced the most effective director nominees throughout an official dwell stream for that 12 months’s Oscars ceremony with an acerbic qualifier: “Congratulations to these males.”
15 That La La Land/Moonlight Oscars Combine-Up
February 27, 2017
In addition to the #OscarsSoWhite controversy, the shift to 10 Finest Image nominations after The Darkish Knight was snubbed in 2009 and the short-lived plan to introduce an Excellent Achievement in Widespread Motion pictures class communicate to the final state of the Oscars image. On a extra particular scale, 2017’s occasion led to the only best embarrassment in Academy historical past: the same old infallible, prestigious occasion received one thing very improper.
In a hard-fought battle for Finest Movie, Damien Chazelle’s La La Land was the favourite to land the distinguished statue, so when Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway introduced the musical because the winner, after a confused beat, it wasn’t a shock. Solely, La La Land did not win. In a comedy of errors, the presenters have been handed the envelope for Finest Actress, which learn Emma Stone for La La Land, and browse out the improper winner. Because the excited La La Land forged and crew descended on the stage, an surprising commotion led to the horrible realization and producers Fred Berger, Marc Platt, and Josh Horowitz have been knowledgeable of the issue, earlier than graciously conceding:
Horowitz: “I’m sorry, there’s a mistake. Moonlight, you guys received greatest image. This isn’t a joke.”
Platt: “This isn’t a joke. They learn the improper factor.”
14 Harvey Weinstein & Me Too
2017
Probably the most seismic information occasions in fashionable historical past noticed the downfall of one in every of Hollywood’s most infamous figures. Began in 2006 by activist Tarana Burke, the MeToo motion started as a grassroots marketing campaign to boost consciousness of widespread sexual harassment and assault. Targeted initially on the experiences of marginalized and underprivileged communities, it got here to better prominence in October 2017, when allegations have been made in opposition to Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. As a number of survivors got here ahead, actress Alyssa Milano tweeted on October 15, 2017, to encourage victims to make use of the phrase “Me Too”, making a viral social motion.
Spreading wider than the accusations in opposition to Weinstein, which finally led to his conviction and imprisonment, the #MeToo hashtag turned a focus for survivors from inside and outdoors the trade. In flip, the motion sparked wider conversations about sexual misconduct, consent, and gender equality, earlier than a shift into advocating for systemic change and office reform. Because the mud started to settle, different outstanding Hollywood figures, together with director Bryan Singer, Brett Ratner, Invoice Cosby, and financier Jeffrey Epstein, have been accused of crimes by a number of victims.
13 Troubled Productions, Spiraling Budgets & Reshoots
Troubled productions are nothing new in Hollywood, however over Display screen Rant’s 20 years – and particularly within the 2010s – there was elevated visibility of those adjustments and the affect that they had on the completed product.
We’ve already mentioned Star Wars director issues: Gareth Edwards changed by Tony Gilroy on Rogue One reshoots; Ron Howard changing Lord & Miller on Star Wars; JJ Abrams changing Colin Trevorrow on Star Wars 9; unmade motion pictures from Guilermo del Toro, James Mangold, Josh Trank, Patty Jenkins, Taika Waititi, David Benioff & DB Weiss and extra. And regardless of the column inches, a lot of what occurred on all the films stays a thriller.
However this wasn’t a Lucasfilm-only scenario. Unbelievable 4 was taken off Josh Trank’s arms to the purpose he mentioned on opening day it wasn’t his film in a tweet calculated to have value the studio $10 million. David Ayer’s Suicide Squad was retooled from a grim-dark villain team-up right into a Guardians of the Galaxy riff. Total components of Shane Black’s The Predator have been eliminated.
Even productions that retained their creatives weren’t proof against adjustments, with Marvel notorious for altering motion pictures all the way down to the road and even essentially the most visually uninspiring blockbuster posting budgets that require nearly $1 billion field workplace to interrupt even. Whether or not a results of inexperienced administrators getting the keys to main franchises or studios scuffling with accounting, it’s
And that’s earlier than attending to the largest case of all…
12 The Snyder Minimize
Few tales in Display screen Rant’s historical past are fairly as wild as that of Justice League. DC’s reply to The Avengers went into manufacturing months after the profitable however divisive launch of Batman v Superman. A course correction was deemed mandatory by Warner Bros and so a lighter tone was pushed with Zack Snyder remaining on the helm.
Following the loss of life of his daughter, Snyder stepped away from the undertaking and Joss Whedon got here in for reshoots (though subsequent experiences state Snyder was fired). Initially bought as small tweaks in-keeping with the film’s unique imaginative and prescient, it shortly turned clear that Whedon was overseeing a complete redo of the film, remaking and retooling your entire film. The ensuing Justice League was a Frankensteined film audiences roundly rejected. Story over.
ScreenRant’s Key Launch The Snyder Minimize Articles:
Besides it wasn’t. From opening evening, there have been calls to Launch The Snyder Minimize, which received louder because it turned obvious that there was a considerably totally different film that had been largely changed. Through the years, particulars of Whedon’s reshoots, Snyder’s unique imaginative and prescient and behind-the-scenes machinations got here out, and the marketing campaign gained steam (not with out its personal points on social media). For a few years, it was considered as an impossibility, however we lined it with ferocity all the identical.
Ultimately, as help grew and HBO Max regarded to carry high-interest tasks to its service, they gave Snyder the cash to complete his reduce, together with new scenes that includes Jared Leto’s Joker and Martian Manhunter. The ensuing film was a 4-hour epic which may be an acquired style, however is undeniably the cap of the DCEU.
11 Netflix Shock Drops A Cloverfield Film At The Tremendous Bowl
February 4, 2018
Film advertising and marketing is a movable feast, with billions of {dollars} a 12 months dropped on boosting consideration for upcoming theatrical and residential releases. Newer years have seen studios weaponizing influencer tradition, the place follower counts trump all else (together with, often, extra wise metrics like appropriateness). That pattern might not be well-liked with so-called legacy media, but it surely speaks to the necessity for innovation that tracks rising traits. The choice is to do one thing utterly surprising, like Netflix did with The Cloverfield Paradox in 2018.
After a comparatively lengthy manufacturing interval from its announcement (as God Particle) in 2012 by way of to filming in 2016, and ultimately its delayed launch in 2018, Paramount bought the discharge rights to Netflix.
