What ideas can you use to conquer such hard-headed audiences of the world?

Couple of questions here before I dive into this...
OK. Jaws and Exorcist did
not fail at the BO. This is my alternate reality. That "etc." is incredibly vague - Should I assume that
all top-ranking horror films have tanked in this bizarro world? (I am Legend, The Sixth Sense) If so, what is the measure for success in horror? (Or maybe that's the nature of my challenge - Duh)
Should I assume that I'm in present day (now) when coming up with these ideas?
Also - Is the task to come up with a single treatment/pitch for the NEXT BIG THING or a series of ideas that will hopefully stimulate the movie business?
Sorry - I'm probably over-thinking this.
