when The MCU struck gold from 2012 to 2015...someone in Hollywood, someone rich, or someone with connections should have got together with a Group of investors and sold them on A cinematic universe and Tried to By The right to Friday The 13th(Jason), Nightmare(Freddy), Halloween(Jason), Child's Play(Chucky) ....
It probably would have cost HUNDREDS of millions.....
but Rebooting all these series In Phases like you said and having them in each others films would have been a gold mine....
IMO Its too late now....with the success of Halloween, No studio is gonna sell the rights to one of those now....
But man 5 years ago would have been perfect....
Halloween was coming off An awful Zombie directed Part 2....The franchise was stalled...
Friday The 13th was coming off a Reboot that wasnt as successful as they wanted, I'm sure They didnt think It could be rebooted again....
Chucky was coming off one of the worst films ever in Seed, and has been in stuck in straight to DVD territory...
and Elms Street was coming off a not very successful reboot....
all of 4 cases, The franchises were at the right point where They might have sold and sold for a good price due to not knowing where to go with the franchise going forward.
In fact, I remember reading a few years ago that one of the studios just gave away the rights to Friday the 13th to sweeten a deal...
But Now, with Halloweens incredible success, no one is selling the rights to these franchises
PS...just found the article I was referring to....In 2013, WB wanted to co produce Interstellar with Paramont and WB just gave Them all the rights back to Friday the 13th in exchange....

bet they come to regret that as chances are Jason will be next to follow HW and if they can produce a half decent sequel it could also have a crazy opening

I agree....I bet WB right now at this very moment in regretting it
But to have A GREAT Opening They've got to think of something that gets people excited, It just cant be a by the numbers reboot, they alright did that in 2009....
They got to come up with a way to immediately get people excited and talking like They did with this new Halloween....
there were a number of different things that got people talking and excited the second this new Halloween was announced from Jamie Lee Curtis returning(some thing everyone thought was in impossible) to this film disregarding The entire franchise and being a direct sequel to Part 1 to Blumhouse's Involvement to Carpenter being involved and endorsing the film....
Producers got to do some serious thinking and get creative and think of an idea or way to Make A New Friday The 13th reboot Instantly click with audiences....
If Not, I see just a normal 30 to 40 Million dollar opening
