Editorials > What the Success of 'The Comebacks' Will Establish...

If this movie does well at the box office, with the competing movies in mind, what will it say about the average movie goer?

Will people continue to pay money to see another spoof of movies they’ve already seen? I don’t remember ‘Epic Movie’ or ‘Date Movie’ being great box office successes. If ‘The Comebacks’ bombs, maybe they’ll get the message and start trying to make original movies that aren’t just regurgitations of other average comedies.

But what are the odds of that happening?

While Epic Movie and Date Movie weren't huge hits, both were pretty profitable. Given that, I'd say the odds of your hopes coming true are sadly very low. Comedies are relatively low budget endeavors, and it's too proven a formula to just spoof movies that people liked.
