This is particularly true of Sony Pictures, which in recent years has signed off on a string of horrendous duds, highlighted in 2015 by Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 and Pixels. However, this doesn’t mean there are no good movie ideas out there for major studios to pursue — the problem is that they’re not pursuing them.
