For the last few years franchise movies like star wars, marvel, etc. made money regardless of quality. However now it seems like audiences are being choosier when it comes to these kinds of tentpole releases. I’ve seen some people online say that the movie/theater industry is losing people in general but I don’t think that’s the case.

Super Mario and spiderverse made a lot of money. And Oppenheimer, Barbie, and Dune seem to be tracking well. I think the problem is that people are getting sick of the same old stuff and need more than just a brand name to go to the theater. What do you you think?

    Seriously, I don’t know why Hollywood keeps choosing terrible writers for huge projects

    Don’t worry, soon Hollywood won’t be choosing writers at all. (Thanks ChatGPT!)

    (Obviously I agree that good writing is fundamental to the success of a movie, with few exceptions.)
