Gone are the days where prospective moviegoers would roll up to the theaters and gawk at the board for their next watch. Theaters are trying to make up that business in other ways.
You're viewing a single thread.
The same people in this thread blaming remakes and marvel are also not going to see any of the other smaller but unique and quality films that come out in theaters. There was literally 1 marvel studios film that hit theaters this year.
Are there good mid budget movies even being made? It seems like it's either massive blockbuster or award bait garbage.
There are tons, but people aren't paying attention to them. And certainly aren't going to the theatre to watch them. I think you asking that question just reinforces my point.
There are and have been a lot, Blink Twice, Smile 2, We Live in Time, Conclave, alien Romulus, The Substance and Thelma to name a few just from this year.
A24 did "Dicks: The Musical" last year which was one of the funniest, most profane, things I ever watched...
