10 Things That Would Have Happened After 2015's Biggest Movies

What would have happened if we'd kept the cameras rolling for just one more scene...

If there's one universal truth of modern filmmaking, it's that virtually every single film runs about an hour too long. Product placements, erroneous plot-lines, showcasing locations, Jack Black; there's junk to cut out of every major release Hollywood inflicts on the general public. But what if - and stick with me here - what if we all pretended that wasn't true. What if we pretended that films weren't going far enough. What if we pretended that the implications, consequences and aftershocks of a movie were of dramatically more interest than the main story. Boy howdy, if that was true, then an article looking at the aftermath of 2015's biggest movies would be absolutely brilliant. For most of these, sequels are inevitable, but as ever these will brush over the really juicy questions and just get straight the nub of another story. No time to point, no time to laugh, no time to reflect on what came before and blurt out "hang on!" through a mouthful of popcorn. So, stacking 2015's biggest movies (according to the box office) atop each other, what exactly would audiences have seen if the camera's had rolled on for another few minutes or scenes... Oh, and if you honestly need a spoiler warning for this article - bearing in mind that the entire premise is that I'll be taking the endings of numerous film's to their inevitable and farcical conclusions - then you've got bigger issues than having a movie ruined.
