Agreed. However, I am at the point where I've long since given up on these movies having a future. I know, deep down, that the movies I care about are a dying breed and there's nothing we can do to change that. The studios are run by people who ate art, and audiences are the least demanding they've ever been. As we near this end of an era, we just have to enjoy the little victories and recognize there was an audience at one point, even at a time when audiences were the most repulsed at real movies...I guess? I dunno. I just know that if I say the truth and do the usual "cinema is dead", "audiences are undemanding", "nostalgic toy commercial" schtick, people will get mad at me and yell at me and hate that I dare be "doom and gloom" even though there's a bazillion reasons to be doom and gloom. Just trying to give a tiny bit of optimisim to placate others, even if, sadly, things are only going to get worse and worse and worse.

At this rate, it's easier to just ignore budgets and enjoy little victories that movies like this can make okay money. These movies are being funded by capitalist, soulless conglomos who will happily lay off their employees for an easy profit and it's not like theaters will see any impact if a big hit movie makes a loss or not. I know some will cry foul, but you got to find happiness somehow. -

Dawg, they aren't saying it. I am. I know this is off-base, but it's just waht I've given from my own archiving and information. Besides, it'll likely land in the 50s or even 60s by the time we reach release day, so all this ribbing is meaningless. -
