They should do a bride of Frankenstein aimed at 17 year old mean girls.

A creature from the black lagoon from the creature's perspective would be fun

The Mummy made a fuck ton of money on streaming for some weird reasons

>what if we revived the monster universe as cape shit instead of horror?
It's like they are retarded on purpose.

Renfield was basically Deadpool wannabe. Awful film.

How could this happen?

I just don't get how they call The Mummy a flop when it made over 400 million. That's more than Batman Begins and nobody calls it a flop, even when both had similar production budgets.
I understand the rest are straight up flops as none of them even made more than 50 million. Funnily enough, all of them together made less that half of Mummy's box office. Also what is the reason and sense to transform dark universe into a series of independent films that don't form a proper universe anymore. Or do they?

It's okay to want to create monster movies like their old classics, but they need to do it in a more natural way. Don't feel obligated to make vampire movies just because you made Dracula 100 years ago. If you have a good idea for a vampire move then do it, but don't do it just because.

all of them
their model is like universal signs in deal with other smaller studios and that's how it's done
for example mummy made by perfect world pictures
dracula untold by legendary studios
abigail by radio silence films
wolfman by blumhouse
yet all of them from universal

>>208097967
nosferatu and last voyage of demeter were distributed by universal but not planned for main monster films like the rest

I hate Renfield so much. Idiotic comedy. However I like Abigail and The Mummy because both are spooky enough but also campy while trying to be serious unlike Renfield. Also some of vampire fights in Abigail feel very similar to scenes where Cruise fights Ahmanet's undead minions. Wikipedia even mentions that Universal considered Abigail and The Mummy to be in the same shared world and it makes sense. Similar tone.

The reason is very strange indeed. Turns out that it brings 'horror aspects' to people who normally don't watch horror movies. This makes The Mummy a big hit on streaming services.

I feel sorry for Sofia Boutella.
Even though she did her job just fine, she attended the funerals of two cinematic universes.

No. Dark Universe approached Eggers to film one of their monster movies but he rejected the offer. However in the end Universal, who controls Dark Universe, distributed his Nosferatu movie.
