Always keep in mind that movies are a business. Moreover, they are made by corporations that have more going on than just entertaining the audience. The movie studios are branches of larger conglomerates and more times than not act in tandem with these other branches. Big budget movies are often used as marketing schemes for broader product launches that connect the film with video games, books, toys, merchandise and theme park rides.
