Avengers (2012)
This thing shaped the decade in several ways, I mean, now, we are used to seeing many movies within the marvel cinematic universe ever single year, but in the early 2010s, the idea of an interconnected movie universe of that scale was pretty unheard of, personally, I hadn't even heard of the Avengers when they announced the movie. I didn't necessarily love the first Thor movie over the first Captain America movie and I hadn't even heard that there was a Hulk movie. But the comic fans fully aware of what was going on and what was being attempted, there were massive conspiracies and theories going on, easter eggs, and then it worked. It was a massive hit, it made over 1 billion dollars in the box-office.
One massive thing that the Avengers did it was giving the idea that money could be made by cinematic universes and then many movies seemed to trying to plant the seeds cinematic universes and in a lot of those movies you wouldn't get satisfying answer to things, things would happen but they would be intended to start a cinematic universe so it would be like, " Ok, that would pay off in a couple of years ", and it almost never did pay off because there were a lot of failed attempts to get these things going.
The dark universe was supposed to be a cinematic movie universe of horror movie monsters, they had russell Cove as Dr. Jekly being a Nick Fury type, that bombed hard.
Sony tried to get things going with The Amazing SpiderMan cinematic universe, In The Amazing SpiderMan 2, they planted a bunch of seeds that never paid off, Felicity Jones was in it a bit as the woman that would eventually become the Black cat, The Ravencroft Institute was introduced, The Sinister Six were teased and eventually all that was scrapped, as they introduced so many characters that complicated matters.
And finally, Marvel's main competition The DC Extended Universe has had kind of a rough time.They tried the while justice league team up thing and each of them made less than each of the solo movies they planted seeds in and Batman V Superman that were never paid off and because the solo films made more than their team up film, it seems like that's what they are gonna be focusing on.
Bird Box was another hit on Netflix side of things and Ari Astor did some really cool stuff with hereditary in mid-summer . The reason these movies were so influential was that they all allowed film makers to tell their stories using a genre that's one of the few remaining ones that people actually go out to movie theatres to see and not only do they get people to the theatres, they cost a lot less than big blockbusters to put together from a studio perspective.
Now 2015, was a massive year for revivals and there were two big players that chaged the game Jurassic world and Star Wars sequal and reboots have obviously been big things in Hollywood, but these movies were really kick things up. They were both kinda reboots and kinda sequals, they both had a very specific elements that gave us something new and modern and heavy VFX and were tapping into our nostalgia pretty hard, So, they were kind of big hits and went to the One Billion mark.
That's it folks :)
Hope you enjoyed.
