They don't give a crap about anything else, I swear. That's not true at all. Star Wars, Harry Potter, Pirates and the Jurassic Park franchise did some pretty decent numbers there, past and present. Other then that, animation and musicals do really well there, even non Disney like Illumination and the Great Showman. For the most part they just don't care about superheroes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a year had 0 good superhero movies, I might buy literally 0 tickets that year. Everything else has less of an ongoing narrative that I care about so I don’t mind waiting until I can watch it on a laptop. You really need to expand your filmgoing horizons a big, it big budget blockbusters are the only thing you really care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caring a out movies and spending the money to go watch movies in the theater are two different things. I watch primarily blockbusters in the theaters but watch smaller movies on rentals or streaming. Theater going isn’t cheap. Edited May 1, 2018 by HouseOfTheSun 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't really matter, you could still wait until it hits streaming (and that's assuming you're paying customer and not an illegal-downloader) So yeah, you have to make it a VFX-cultural event or rely on its fans (sometimes both) Get Out and A Quiet Place won't hold Hollywood for a year.

Krissykins Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I Feel Pretty down just 40% from last Monday. I wonder if it can manage a decent hold this weekend? Saw the film last night and loved it. Very heartwarming. So much funnier than Snatched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch primarily blockbusters in the theaters but watch smaller movies on rentals or streaming. Theater going isn’t cheap. Agreed. Even taking only mainstream cinema into account I will never pay a ticket to see a comedy for example. It would be nice if we had cult genre/grindhouse films like the seventies and the eighties, I would definately pay a ticket for those but at the state of cinema right now I will only go to big spectacles and the occasional horror movie.
