Published Monday, Mar 6 2006, 16:43 GMT | By Miriam Zendle
George Lucas has stated that the days of Hollywood blockbusters are numbered.
The Star Wars director told the New York Daily News that "market forces" meant big-budget films were no longer economically viable.
"Those movies can't make their money back anymore," he explained. "In the future, almost everything that gets shown in theatres will be indie movies. I predict that by 2025 the average movie will cost only $15m."
