However, even if Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets doesn’t work on a financial level, it could very well be a film that sci-fi fans will take a liking to, especially if they’re fans of Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element.
EuropaCorp, on the other hand, doesn’t exactly have a definitive silver bullet in the studio’s canon, and its track record before this film is spotty at best.
So even with this potential human risk on the books, EuropaCorp still looks like the might come out of this movie better off than other competitors.
Even the company’s Transporter series is on the decline, which makes the presence of two more sequels on the studio’s future roster both an asset and a liability.
