That's my point - all Columbia's got at the moment is family comedies and Oscar bait. Unless they can get Spielberg over to do Jurassic Park, they're in for a dry spell.
Jurassic Park was already spoiled (and later hinted) to be a Disney-MGM production, soooo........
Remind me how 20th Century Fox Triad is doing? Columbia might be able to license Planet of the Apes, Alien and Predator for the right price.
Triad should be doing fine. In fact, I believe they're probably the main player behind the upcoming three-way (or four-way) IP war between Universal, WB, Columbia, and Disney since they have a lot of bankable IPs for theme park attractions like those listed, as well as Star Trek.
In my personal opinion, I think Columbia should get Planet of the Apes (to complement their latest post-apoc franchise) , Universal should get Alien, and WB should get Predator (with the latter two being interchangeable) but that's just me.
And while neither Columbia nor Warner Bros are nowhere near as experienced in ‘imagineering’ as Disney it’d probably be a good idea to build rides that aren’t directly based on IP.
And hey, if successful they can make movies based off them in return! They are IPs in hindsight!
I think it's inevitable that they will have to come up with new original rides (and they have, considering Warner Bros. has Six Flags properties and Columbia does have original attractions), but the IPs are where it's at for the three rival companies (at least IMO).
