Almost consistent diminishing returns and a 20 year gap but he's blaming it on race...
How the hell was the budget for the first one 24.5 million? I'm pretty sure that's a typo and the budget was under 5 mill. They lost two of the main cast members and the first one came out when I was just out of high school, who the fuck cares about sequel *now* after all these years when the last thing was straight garbage and made less than a 1/3rd what the first one did. Cube can't put up 10 mill of his own money or find some investors to pool their money to finance it themselves? He's a wealthy guy. If he thinks he's got such a great idea and script for a studio to take that risk, he should produce it himself. Not everything is about race. For fuck's sake. The studio wants a guaranteed return on their investment like anyone else would, including Cube. Those numbers aren't great and the more time passes and the more cast members drop out or die off the less chance it will recoup that $$$$ and make a profit.
Question is why he can't take it to another studio like Netflix or something.
Because he sold the franchise to Warner Bros, doofus
