According to CNBC’s "Hollywood’s franchise frenzy" article, "...between 50% and 70% of the movies from the six major studios – Universal, Disney, Warner Bros, Paramount, Sony, and Lionsgate – will be related to existing IP." Today, an opportunity exists to explore new ideas, new IP, new film thinking.
