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?

    Wait, is having a woman in the movie virtue signaling? I haven’t seen it to know.

      Only when it’s pointless.

      Two words: female Bond.

      Plenty of great movies with females and/or female leads. Ghost busters was not one of them.
