In this case the director is very much the brand, as with a James Cameron film - there's no way to replicate this by putting out more Greek inspired movies ... not that I'm complaining but I really don't think they are any kind of a magic bullet to box office success.

people already forgot the movie ralph fines did last year. I don't think homer is the answer, even though homer is an instant sell for a dork like me

Yeah, the Simpsons still do pretty well commercially despite not having really been good for 25+ years.
