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?
I heard bad things about the last Indiana Jones, so I won’t see the latest one as I would feel like I was missing out on something. Same goes with the Flash… the films don’t come across as independent from each other so I won’t bother if it seems like I need to have followed the franchise until that point.
