I am not being deliberately ignorant. Both PLANES and the Worlds End are being financed because they think they will be profitable.
One film's audience is young children.
The other film's audience is 20-40 year nerd types who know who Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright, and Nick Frost are. They might have watched Spaced, but they definitely thought that Shaun of the Dead was a great, updated, pop-culture, nerd-sheek take on Dawn of the Dead.
In the end they are both financial decisions because a producer had to do a cost-benefit analysis on creating either movie. If they sucked at doing that, they wouldn't have a job, so they are good at it.
Toho was good at doing this analysis for Godzilla films, but in the Millennium series they couldn't hit the mark.
