Things You’d Do Involving Bad Movies If You Had a Ton of Money?

I'd make my own B movies and maybe even create a "cinematic universe" of sorts for them.

Buy older theaters across the nation to create a vertically-integrated studio empire! Mwah-ha-ha!!!

I think I might bring back one or two Mighty Wurlitzers & retractable screens so the cinemas could be easily converted into theatres, & maybe invite street performers on weekends.....

Kinda like they did with the old Byrd Theater in town...

I'd remake "The Dragon Lives Again" with an expanded cast of characters

Build my own combination drive-in/outdoor shooting range.

As long as people don't try both activities at the same time.

I dunno. I can think of a few movies that could greatly be improved by the ability to shoot at the screen.

Like the Kong vs Godzilla remake.

Remake some pretty s**tty mainstream movies with improvements.

One of the things I've been hearing my whole life, from indies to some big names who started their own labels, is how they always hit a brick wall on the distribution end.....
Even some of my associates on the local indie scene started complaining last year that their stuff was getting pulled from Amazon for no reason...

Always thought it would be kinda cool to take up distribution for z-listers.....

Something tells me that would've been easier 30 years ago, when there were a bunch of independent video stores. Shoot, it might've been possible 10 years ago.

Today, with streaming taking over, I'm not filmmaking/distribution is a profitable business, unless you happen to own an archive of 1000+ films.
