I am not a film maker in any way. So then why do so many news sites tell me about how much money the film has taken in during its first weekend, week, etc…?

As a film fan / viewer, why should I care?

Any sort of historical explanation would be very appreciated.

    High box office revenue can indicate potential for sequels, job offers for the directors/stars, merchandizing.

    If Iron Man had bombed at the box office, we wouldn’t be in MCU phase 6.
