Prince of Persia, The Last Airbender, Dragonball Evolution, 47 ronin
All flops.
What do these movies have in common that Hollywood could learn from?
Are you insinuating that audiences don't like Asian influenced films?
I'd say they don't like White people playing dress-up, messing up the realism aspect of the films.
That too.
But for me mostly that those films were only BIG in their niche market. Prince of Persia to video gamers. Last Airbender and Dragonball Z to anime fans. Giving them large 150-200 million dollar budgets didn't help, especially with less than Ideal box office leads.
Last Airbender and Dragonball Z to anime fans.
Hahaha, no. Last Airbender flopped because M Night destroyed everything that was good about the original and make a weak version of it, if someone that got what made the original likable had been in charge then perhaps people who weren't already into it would have enjoyed the film too. As it was fans of the cartoon are the biggest haters of the film going, it was so terrible it wasn't even big in it's niche market.
