With a POD no earlier than 2000 (the release year of the film Pitch Black), make it so the "Chronicles of Riddick" series is much, much more popular than OTL.
Right now, the impression I have is the series is a cult hit. PB made $30 million profit on a budget of around $23 million, while CoR (the sequel) made $15 million profit on a budge of around $105 million, IIRC largely on DVD.
There are sequels in the works, but they'll be much lower budgeted.
The only ideas I've got is to make CoR itself more profitable by improving the script a bit. Some of the lines are rather lame, but delivered with such portentousness that they're unintentionally hilarious ("He is a holy Half-Dead who has seen the Underverse.")
