Comedy: a serious matter

The other day I was reading an article in Time magazine and stated that many movies have produce millions of dollars on their opening weekend, but they made very clear that sometimes profit is not as big for the action movies compared to funny movies.

This statement makes sense just think about how expensive are special effects for action movies, how many blasting explosions and flying cars everywere versus the few special effects, in a comedy where mostly is make up and camera positioning.

Salary of the main star is a big issue for productions but in the case of comedy is about half of the cost, while in action is just part of a huge list of things needed.

My point of view is that Hollywood trend is going to keep doing comedy for its revenue, now it makes you think that probably the best comedies are cartoons nowaday so basically they're saving a lot more on the main price tag which is the star, also you can see that actors world wide are enjoying this a lot more even though they receive a third of what they usually charge but they're only selling their voice so instead of spending years on a production they work hard for a couple of months and still make millions, now remember a voice is going to keep its age a lot easier than a face.

Will cartoons rule the comedy? will comedy rule Hollywood? only time will tell, in my opinion for as long as there's movie viewers there's going to be movies and actors, but there's a little concern, will technology influence revenue from productions?
