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?

    Slightly off-topic, but didn’t they claim something along the lines of “people will ignore that Ezra is a total piece of shit because of how great the movie is”?

      WB was hyping it up like it was the greatest superhero film ever made. I’ve actually seen the movie and can assure you it is far from it. The whole thing felt like an inside joke from WB.

      Wow, you got me to Google the guy. I was expecting a bad incident or two, but the list just goes on and on.
