According to where?

[kayumanggi]

Because i'm telling the truth

 

that Man of Steel is a cinematic garbage

 

and BvS is pure cash grab 

 

[ecstasy]

0 of the top 10 movies at the U.S. box office this year will be rated R.  Somewhat of an alarming trend, given how back in the 80s half of the movies in the top 10 every year would be rated R.  Worrisome if you are a moviegoer like me who wants the studios to make more adult level stories (Moneyball, Captain Phillips, Lincoln, etc.)  Yeah, I know those were not rated R, but they were aimed at the adult audience.

 

Well for a good part of the 80s there was no PG-13 rating. When that rating was introduced by the MPAA a lot of R movies could fall into that slot.

[4815162342]

Eagles kick off momentarily.

ED I expect you to deliver the goods today.

[Dalek]

Name one.  Seriously, tell me a major studio film that was made  in the hopes that they would NOT make money for the studio,

 

Fantasia 2000. Disney knew from a fairly early stage that this would almost certainly lose them money, yet they made it anyway.

[water]

so mj1 is reaching the exact same-sized audience as a standard harry potter or twilight movie.. probably a bit more by the end. just goes to show that both thg and cf were individual breakouts

[Ando918]

When I was a kid my parents would go to the movies, these same adult-skewing movies in short supply nowadays, and leave me with a babysitter. Around the late 90s/early 2000s, they stopped doing so.

We had gotten satellite TV, they started just watching stuff on HBO or what-have-you. And they'd rent more at the video store (they already did before). They got more into TV also - Sopranos, 24, CSI:NY, etc. Not sure if the tickets got too expensive, or they just got a bit older and less willing to go out to the movies. Or if the act of going to the movies became less appealing to them.

You don't see as much of date-night "see a movie just to see a movie"/"see a movie just to make out in the dark" either. It seems like up to when I was in high school, casual non-family moviegoing was bigger than it is now.

Yep.  Adults today care way, way more about cable TV dramas than movies.  A decade ago, or two decades ago, or 3 decades ago, many people didn't even have cable TV.  Adults had to settle for 30 minute family sitcoms on TV with laugh-tracks (T.G.I.F. on ABC and others).  Now those 30 minute family sitcoms have moved to the Disney Channel.
